Story
Meet Perry, your future sunshine-loving shadow and loyal best friend.
Perry is the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart and then never leaves your side. He’s fully housebroken, happily settles into his kennel when needed, and already knows sit and down—with wait currently in progress. He’s eager to please and loves learning, especially when it means making his people proud.
This sweet boy gets along wonderfully with dogs and children, making him an easy addition to many types of families. Perry’s personality is gentle and affectionate—he simply loves being near his humans. Wherever you go, he’s content to follow along and entertain himself nearby, just happy to share the same space with you.
Perry’s favorite activities are delightfully simple. He enjoys playing outside, exploring the yard, and soaking up warm sunny days. When playtime is over, you’ll find him curled up on his bed, happily chewing on his toys or dozing off in total contentment. He even enjoys being brushed, soaking up the attention like the pampered pup he deserves to be. His energy level is wonderfully chill—he’ll enjoy short bursts of play and exploring, but his true passion is relaxing and enjoying life at an easy pace.
In the winter, Perry revealed his surprisingly serious “yard supervisor” side. He claimed a snow mound as his lookout spot and faithfully watched over the yard from his frosty throne. Even as the mound melted into little more than a scattered patch of snow, Perry stayed loyal to his post, keeping watch like the gentle guardian he is.
One of our favorite Perry moments perfectly captures his soul: on a recent warm day, we set out an outdoor dog bed in the sunshine. Perry climbed up, stretched out, and slept peacefully for two whole hours. When the sun shifted, he woke up, Dragged his bed over to the new sunny spot, and settled right back down on it for another hour of bliss. If you’re looking for a professional sunbather and relaxation expert, Perry is your guy.
Perry isn’t looking for perfection—he’s simply looking for his forever home, a place where he can follow his people, nap in the sun, keep watch over the yard, and feel safe and loved for the rest of his life.
If your home could use a gentle companion with a warm heart and an even warmer love for sunshine, Perry is waiting to meet you.
All Pet Central animals are up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, spayed or neutered, microchipped (registration included), and current on parasite prevention. Dogs over six-months of age are heartworm tested. When adopting, we will ensure that you receive copies of veterinary and microchip records. Records are sent via email. Paper versions are available upon request.
If you are interested in this pet, please fill out the brief Adopter Survey by hitting "Apply for Adoption" on the profile above.
After we review your completed survey, we will contact you by phone or email within three business days. Please note- Out of respect for our volunteers and staff, we are closed on Sunday and Monday and will not be processing any applications on those days. Please get back to us right away when we call or email regarding an application so that we can quickly connect using the process below:
Select a pet and submit an online adoption survey.
A PCH! adoption counselor will contact potential adopters within three business days (PCH! cannot guarantee any pet's availability, but we make every effort to accommodate adopters with a reply and possible alternative suggestions). An adoption counselor and client will then have a conversation to answer questions, discuss any medical needs for the pet and determine the suitability of a match (if necessary, we may opt to put adopters in touch with foster parents). After a match is made, clients will be asked to sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee online through our secure payment system *Please see our modified no-risk return policy. (below)
The PCH! adoption counselor will then set up a specific appointment time and location.
Adopters should bring a pet carrier and/or a leash to pick up and their ID. Adult pets will be wearing a collar. It is important that clients arrive on time, neither early nor late. Cats and kittens are required to leave in a pet carrier.
If your adoption is scheduled at Pet Central Helps!:
Upon arrival inside the Crossroads Center complex (360 Wylie Drive), look for the black Pet Central Helps! semi-trailer, which is right outside of our facility (Suite 720).
Park in the parking lot and enter the facility. A PCH! representative will greet you and show you to the adoption room. Your new pet will be handed to you. We will take a "Happy Adoption Day” photo with your pet and family.
If your adoption is scheduled at PetSmart – Bloomington, IL:
Park in the PetSmart (1606 E. Empire St.) Parking lot and enter the store. We will be set up just inside the store entrance. Let us know you are here to pick up your pet! A PCH! representative will confirm your information and hand you your pet. We will take a "Happy Adoption Day” photo with your pet and family.
If your adoption is scheduled at the Cat’s Meow Cafe:
Navigate to PetSmart, park in the parking lot and enter the store. Locate a PCH! Representative at our adoption table and let them know you are picking up a Cat Cafe Cat. You will sign your final contract with your counselor and snap a picture of the completed screen. Head to the Cat’s Meow Cafe at 507 N. Hershey Rd and provide them with the snapshot of your final contract. They will get your cat and take a “Happy Adoption Day” photo with your pet and family.
PCH! supports a 30-day no-fault return policy in which adopters are given the opportunity to find a better match. If we cannot provide advice/tools to keep a pet in the home we offer these options:
Exchange for a pet that may be a better match**
Receive a refund minus a $40 processing fee**
With this approach, we can often turn mismatches into opportunities!
Thank you,
Pet Central Helps!
