PARLEY - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: $300.00. Meet Parley: The Boy Who Waited (and is ready to play!) To know Parley is to witness a miracle of resilience. If you look closely, you’ll see scars on his snout—badges of honor from a puppyhood spent surviving in a burned-out building in Juarez, Mexico. While his mother and siblings were rescued and found homes in the US over a year ago, Parley had to stay behind. He was the sickest & most terrified, and he missed the transport. He spent a year waiting. But looking at him now, it was worth the wait. Parley arrived in Utah absolutely shut down, shrinking to the back of his crate. But with patience, love, and the help of a foster dog sister, he has blossomed into a 40-lb bundle of joy. The dog who was once too scared to eat is now a "Plushie Thief"—he is famous for emptying the entire toy box and carrying his treasures, one by one, back to his crate. (Don't worry, he shares! He doesn’t resource guard with his friends; he just likes to keep his stash close). Today, Parley is healthy, playful, silly, and affectionate. He is a morning snuggler who will hop into bed for cuddles, and he loves to wrestle and play chase with other dogs. He has discovered the joy of "The Walk," where he is polite on a leash and loves to sniff the news of the neighborhood. What Parley is looking for: Parley is a sensitive soul who is still learning that the world is safe. He needs a patient adopter who understands that trust is earned. A Confidence Booster: He would do best in a home with a confident dog sibling to show him the ropes. But he will do well with a slower intro to his new bestie. Active Lifestyle: He loves being outside! A fenced yard for squirrel-patrol is a huge bonus, but a dedicated walker/hiker/runner can also be a great match. A Gentle Environment: Because he can still be skittish, a home with adults or older, respectful children is best. Parley was the last one left behind, but he is ready to be first in your heart.
