About Percy

This sweet boy first came to WAAAG in March of Percy has been fostered by one of our volunteers for the last few weeks and this boy is shining! You can see by the pictures that he is a pretty comfortable and confident dude. If Percy could pick his perfect place�'�| we think he would pick a home with a large, fenced-in back yard so he can play with his toys, chase squirrels and enjoy the sun and the shade. He would prefer a home without small children because he has a hard time determining which toys are his toys and which toys belong to the kids. He would choose a home where at least 1 person in the family is home most of time, meaning they don't work out of the home more than part time. Percy is not a lap dog or a Velcro dog. He will always accept pets and love, but he's not going to be trying to get into your lap or get you to pet him or be in your face. He will most likely choose a big comfy chair or a sofa as his 'day bed' and hang out there. When you go into another room or go to leave the house, he probably won't get up from his cozy day bed to see where you are going. He cares about you and he loves you, just from a distance most of the time. Percy is estimated to be about 10 years old, so he over the puppy/young dog stuff and just needs a family to hang out with and to love him. Percy is totally fine with cats. He has lived with cats before and they are his friends. He loves all dogs, too. He has been a kind, happy and welcoming soul to our new dogs that we get in at the rescue, especially the super scared ones. When Hope came in she was too scared to come out of her cabin when she first arrived. Percy would sit as close to her as he could on his side of the porch, trying to look into her cabin area through the doggy door. Whenever Hope came out, he would stand up and wag his tail as if to say that he was happy to see her. I mentioned that he is good with dogs, and yes, he is, but his perfect home would have 1, potentially 2 other low energy dogs. Percy also loves walks and he is great on a leash. He does get excited when he sees deer and sometimes squirrels, then he pulls and he sings them a song of his people, he gets louder as they get further away so they can still hear them. It's pretty adorable. Percy is a good and loyal boy and he deserves a home. If you would like to meet him, please send an email to [email protected] or visit waaag.org/adopt.
