Parker's Story

Please contact Kallie Brennan (kallieb@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Pretty Parker! PARKER NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!<br/>Name: Parker Best Guess for Breed: Lab Mix<br/><br/>Best Guess for Age: 1 year as of March 2026 SEX: Female<br/><br/>Approximate Weight: 46lbs<br/><br/>Gets Along With: Other dogs! We have tested Parker with some of the cats at the shelter, and she did not seem particularly interested in chasing or pouncing on the cat. While this is a positive sign that Parker could live with a cat, she has not done so to our knowledge. If you have cats in your home, we are happy to discuss with you how to best introduce a new pup to your pack! We haven't seen them with kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!<br/><br/>Currently Living at: Shelter. Parker needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get here!<br/><br/>Special adoption considerations: Parker is a truly Lucky Dog. She tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. We are happy to discuss where in the treatment process this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!<br/>Meet Parker — the pup who’s parked herself right in our hearts and is ready to cruise straight into yours.<br/>This South Carolina sweetheart is packing her bags and heading to Washington, DC in search of her forever home. Parker is the total package: equal parts playful goofball, cuddle connoisseur, and professional tail-wagging enthusiast. If there were a National Park Service for good girls, she’d definitely be ranger-in-training.<br/>Parker is ready to park it beside you for movie night, but don’t worry — she’s also got plenty of zoomies in the tank for walks, adventures, and exploring all the dog-friendly spots DC has to offer.<br/>So if you’re looking for a loyal companion who will always save you a seat (or at least a spot on the couch), Parker is ready to park herself in your life permanently.<br/>Adopt Parker — because every great adventure needs a good place to park<br/>What My Foster Says About Me: Stay tuned!<br/><br/>Heartworm information: Parker is a truly Lucky Dog. She tested positive for heartworms, but has been treated! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites.
