About Percy

Percy is an 8-year-old Dachshund/Chihuahua mix who is ready to find a loving home. With his sweet pink nose and creamy white coat, he’s undeniably charming. This calm little guy prefers a peaceful environment and hasn’t made a peep since arriving at the rescue.

He does take eye medication for dry eye, but that doesn’t stop him from being a loving companion. Percy gets along well with other dogs, making him a great fit for multi-pet households. He deserves a warm, caring home where he can truly thrive. Will you open your heart to this gentle soul? Currently located in Metairie, LA. Click apply to start the adoption process.
