Parker is the whole package you would want in a family dog: intelligent, inquisitive and irresistibly cute.

He has earnt the nickname nosey Parker in care, as his little snoot is forever getting into all the household activities. Gardening and need a shovel? Don’t bother with one Parker may assist you with that task. Sit down to enjoy a cuppa, watch out because someone’s snoot will be trying to assert itself on the table or in your lap.

Parker has no trouble snuffling up whatever food you put in his food bowl, so hello to no more left overs!

This ball of cuteness is the softest snuggler with the biggest whole body wag when he sees you. Parker also has a good bark and likes to let you know if anything is out of order. He is so smart already mastering sit, shake hands and wait whilst in care, with further training Parker will go far!

Parker loves toys and will play for long periods with his sister or foster carers with all sorts. Its lucky as he has to do some ball therapy to try and adjust the location of his adult teeth coming through, so they dont annoy his gums. As a result of this Parker may need further dental work as these teeth move in, which NQAR is happy to discuss with a potential adopter.

Parker’s big heart means he likely won’t do well without a doggie or human friend around and he does get quite upset if he can’t see someone or have another dog friend. It is something to keep in mind for his potential new home.

Overall Parker is the whole package and anyone would be lucky to have this beautiful snuggle bug in their life. Everyone needs a nosey Parker!

Parker is $450 + $100 desex bond to adopt and comes microchipped, C5 vaccinated and given flea/tick/worm prevention.
