Percy is a dog who simply refuses to let the past hold him back. His story started as a stray on the streets of Martin, TN, until he literally chose his own path by following his foster mom’s oldest daughter home while she was on a run. When the local shelter became overcrowded, Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue stepped in with open arms, and his foster mom drove two hours to pull him to safety. During his initial veterinary intake, we discovered Percy had survived some incredible hardships—including an old fracture that luckily healed on its own, and evidence of being shot at. He was also heartworm positive, but Percy is a fighter! He has officially completed his heartworm treatment with flying colors.
Ideal Home
Percy will need a patient, gentle family who can offer him the security he deserves. He will also need a fenced-in backyard where he can get his zoomies out. He does not like to sleep away from his humans—he wants to be close to his pack at night. He will chase chickens.
Ongoing Health
Percy had an old fracture that luckily healed on its own. He was heartworm positive but has officially completed his heartworm treatment with flying colors and received a ProHeart 12 Injection. He is maintained on monthly preventatives. He is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped.
Training & Support
Due to his past trauma, Percy is deathly afraid of gunshots and fireworks. When he hears these loud noises, he will start to tremble and look for comfort. He will also run if he gets scared, so walking him in a secure harness is a absolute must to keep him safe. He is fully housetrained, and crate trained, though his foster mom rarely needs to crate him because his house manners are so good! He is a smart boy who already knows how to sit, shake, lay down, settle down, and patiently wait until his food bowl is put down. He gets excited when you first come home, but he calms down quickly. He is a very quiet boy who only barks if he sees someone outside the window or feels threatened. He is excellent with kids of all ages and great with new people. He is great with other dogs.
