About Percy

Percy is a couch aficionado who could nap for hours but perks up instantly at the sight of a ball. He’s sturdy, totally obsessed with fetch and tug games, and can chew through just about anything if left unsupervised—leashes included. Supervision is a must, as Percy gets anxious when left alone and needs consistent company. He’s social with other dogs and has a sweet spot for his female dog friend, sharing quiet couch time and naps together. Though Percy processes new things a little slowly, he’s always on alert and will let you know if someone’s at the door. Loud noises like fireworks or blasting music upset him, but cruising with the windows down calms him right down. Percy needs regular bathroom breaks due to medication and does best in ground-level homes without stairs. He should never be unsupervised outdoors, and a house with a backyard or a committed walking routine is ideal. He’s affectionate with adults, but it’s not known how he is with kids or small pets yet. If you’re searching for a loyal, mellow companion who balances high-energy play with lazy snuggling, Percy’s your guy. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
