I NEED TO SURRENDER MY DOG/CAT. CAN YOU HELP?

Parker Paws has closed our intake and transitioned from rescue to offering low/no cost spay/neuters for our community’s owned pets. We are focusing our efforts on the source of the problem and are doing our best to reduce it with our Spay Neuter Incentive Program, SNIP, offering it to those who otherwise cannot afford it.
