Percy #2 | 6-month-old Black Mouth Cur mix | A sweet, shy puppy ready to blossom
Percy is a 6-month-old, 35-pound Black Mouth Cur mix with a gentle heart and all the potential in the world. Like many puppies, he's still figuring out how this whole "being a family dog" thing works. Everything is new to him, and while he can be a little shy and nervous at first, each day he becomes a little more confident as he learns that people can be kind and home is a safe place.
Percy loves other dogs and would likely thrive in a home with a playful canine companion. He's respectful of dogs that aren't interested in playing, does a great job picking up on social cues, and has even done well with his foster's cat. He enjoys toys, chew bones, and exploring the park on walks, though he's still working through some leash reactivity around unfamiliar dogs, people, and wheeled objects. With patience and positive reinforcement, his confidence continues to grow.
As a young puppy, Percy is still starting from scratch with many of the basics. He's not yet house trained, is learning that the crate is a safe place, and may whine for a bit when left alone before settling down. He'll need a family that's ready to invest time in puppy training and understands that progress comes with consistency, encouragement, and patience. In return, you'll be rewarded with a sweet, affectionate companion who loves to rest his head on you, show off his belly for rubs, and greet you with an adorable little prance.
Percy's ideal home is one with patient adopters who understand that nervous dogs need time to settle in and build trust. A confident, playful resident dog would be a wonderful role model, and he could also do well with a dog-savvy cat. While he hasn't met children yet, a calmer home that allows him to adjust at his own pace will help him become the confident, happy dog he's meant to be.
If you're looking for a puppy whose personality will shine a little brighter every day, Percy is ready to start that journey with you.
If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.
