My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Important Facts About Perry
Dogs: We would encourage you to bring your dog for a dog-meet! Our staff are happy to assist.
Cats: Perry would prefer not to live with cats in my new home.
Kids: Perry has lived with children in his previous home.
House-trained: Yes!

Meet Perry, a 9-year-old gentleman with movie star good looks and the sweetest, yet spunkiest personality. This old man has mastered the art of being both a world-class cuddle bug and a full-blown sassy boy (in a good way). If you’re looking for a dog who will be your loyal shadow, your couch co-pilot, and your built-in serotonin boost, Perry is your man. He may be too big to be a lap dog, but don’t tell him that - he won’t believe you anyway.

He loves being with his people, giving big kisses, and playing with his beloved squeaky toys and tennis balls. Whether you’re a party of one or a full house, Perry fits right in - he just loves being loved.
Perry is looking for a forever home that wants a dog with personality, affection, and a whole lot of love to give. He’s the kind of dog who lights up a room (and your life) just by being in it. Are you ready for the Best Boy in the Universe (trademark pending)? Because Perry is ready for you.

If you are interested in adopting Perry, please email kenz623@gmail.com to arrange an initial meet and greet with the pet’s foster parent or a staff member. They will reply to you within 24-48 hours.
