My story
Parker is a calm and sensitive dog with a naturally elegant demeanor. Though he may seem reserved at first, his gentle presence is undeniable. Over time, as he grows comfortable, his affectionate and playful side comes to light. Parker enjoys bonding through simple gestures like offering his paw or seeking treats, and he beams with happiness when praised.
Personality
Parker is intuitive, emotionally stable, and sensitive to the moods of others. Unlike most dogs, Parker does not get overly excited or agitated by external influences, maintaining his calm nature. Once trust is built, Parker reveals a relaxed, charming personality that enjoys engaging in companionship with people.

At PACK Academy, we socialize our dogs by exposing them to different stimuli and recording their tolerance levels for each one. These oservations help us understand the dogs better, which then helps us find suitable homes for them.
