Happy New Year!! Little Percy was the LAST rescue of 2014! Saved by the bell and we couldn't be happier to add him to the ARWOB family.
Despite a tough start, Percy is very easy going, sweet, social, and very affectionate. He appears to be a mix of spaniel and dachshund (or maybe just a long haired doxie mix). He's done well so far in the car and on leash. He enjoyed meeting other dogs and people at the dog park, and is keeping his foster siblings good compny. Although he is young and playful, Percy seems to enjoy snuggling most of all! He is definitely a "velcro" dog, just like his brother Bixby.
Percy, his siblings, and several of their puppies were abandonded in Encanto and developed some skin problems. A good samaritan in the neighborhood was feeding them and finally brought them into the shelter. The puppies have been adopted, but Percy and his siblings Bixby and Caramel were still looking for homes.
After receiving treatment at the shelter, Percy looks great! He still has a little more hair to grow back on the tips of his ears, but he's really handsome. He even has brassy red highlights on his chest!
Please submit an application if you would like to meet our sweet Percy!
