Parker *Tripod* D71552 - Rat Terrier and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Minnetonka, Minnesota

Hi, my name is Parker and I am from Arkansas!


From the Vet:
Parker came to TBB to get the urgent medical care he needed after being found as a stray with a gunshot wound to a rear leg. We took immediate action to say YES and get him into rescue so he could have his surgery done on 10/6/26. His adopters should expect about 2 weeks of recovery and a slow return to normal activity thereafter, but he will live a very normal and happy life on 3 legs! His suture removal from surgery is scheduled for 10/23 and if adopted, this appointment can be included in his adoption contract. We wish Parker only good days ahead and a great second chance with his forever family!
