Meet Perry, a spirited one-year-old bundle of joy and energy in the form of a German Shepherd mix! 🐶 This delightful pup has a heart as big as his enthusiasm for life, and he's always ready for a wild game of fetch—especially with that beloved Kong of his! 🎾 Imagine this: a big, beautiful fenced yard where Perry can race around to his heart’s content. Can you feel the excitement?! This energetic boy would thrive in a home that shares his zest for an active lifestyle. He loves going on walks, though he might give you a little tug on the leash at first. But fear not! Once he gets into the groove, he becomes a delightful walking companion. 💪 Perry has been shelling out some serious charm while being kennel trained, and he’s been sleeping comfortably in his crate each night. He’s also making great strides in housebreaking—though he might need some time to adjust in a new home. He’s a work in progress, so a little understanding goes a long way! Now, while Perry is a delightful character, he's still mastering how to channel his excitement. This youthful pup can be a bit jumpy and mouthy—typical of a spirited dog who just can’t contain his joy! He thrives on physical and mental activities, along with ongoing training to help him become the well-mannered buddy one can only dream of! 💖 Here’s the scoop: when it comes to meeting other dogs, Perry needs gentle, slow introductions. Just like us, our furry friends sometimes need a bit of time and space to feel comfortable, especially if they are to become lifelong best friends! A meet-and-greet with your resident dog is essential before bringing Perry into your home. And as for cats? Let’s just say they look like a tempting snack to him! 🐱❌ Perry's journey hasn’t been easy—he came to Homeward Bound due to some rather extraordinary circumstances, having lived in unsanitary conditions without the proper care he deserves. But now, he eagerly awaits a loving home that’s prepared to shower him with all the love and attention he’s been craving. If Perry has stolen your heart (and with that adorable face, how could he not?), please take the next step to make this love story real. 🥰 Apply through the Buddy App today!
