Introducing Parker!

We’ve wanted to bring a puppy into our home and lives for as long as we can remember.  We searched high and low and debated between breeds and breeders. But eventually decided to follow our hearts (with the encouragement of a few friends) and go the rescue adoption route. It wasn’t an easy one. We fell in love with many puppies along the way and interviewed with a few rescue groups. It was always heartbreaking when these prospects didn’t pan out.  But in the blink of an eye, our stars aligned and this adorable little guy was hand delivered to our forever home by the Pets in Need Rescue Team. It was love at first sight!  He’s a beagle mix (even though I think he’s pure bred, there’s no telling for sure) rescued from a kill shelter in Georgia.  He’s 14 weeks old and as shy and stubborn as can be! He loves to nap and roll around in the grass. We are still getting to know each other and we have a lot to learn, but we love him so much already and we’re so excited to have him home with us.  And luckily, he has a puppyrazzi for a mom, so you’ll be seeing lots more of our adorable pup (I still can’t believe he’s ours!) Parker around these parts!
