My name is Percy--WHAT A LAB!!

Meet Percy: What a Lab


This 2 1/2 year old lab has so much to offer an adopter. He is completely housetrained, doesn’t chew on anything, loves, loves, loves to swim and could be in a dock jumping competition, Percy is a fast learner and has some training under his belt as well. He knows “Go to your place” and “Wait” when feeding him or loading him in a vehicle. He knows sit as well. Percy is obsessed with a ball and will fetch it and bring it back to you for as long as your arm stays attached to your shoulder. Typical lab in that he loves to retrieve. He will calm down and lay by your feet and even sleep with you if allowed but doesn’t have to. He is also food motivated so it is pretty easy to keep him motivated to learn new things. As great as he is and friendly as he is, what you do need to know is that he has a strong prey drive which makes it nearly impossible to walk him on a leash. He will need a fenced in yard and some ball retrieving time each day to dispel his energy and need for stimulation. He is so strong and will pull even a large person down if he sees a squirrel or a bird. When he is at the dog park he runs full speed up to another dog with little regard to boundaries. This can be scary and triggering for some dogs. He’s not aggressive, just kind of a bull dozer. He gets so supercharged when outside that he goes on autopilot. Needless to say, his inside manners are much better than his outside manners but he LOVES to be outside.

We think Percy will make an excellent dog for someone but that someone needs to be a confident dog owner who understands prey drive and an excitable type dog. If you would like to apply to adopt Percy which involves a meet and greet, the BEST way is to directly EMAIL STORKWOODS@COMCAST.NET for an application.

We have foster homes in several areas. We do have transport available.
