Meet Percy (ID6062)

Percy is ready to Choo, Choo his way into your heart and home! This 8-month-old Ridgeback mix, who likely is Rhodesian Ridgeback and German Shepherd, is a bundle of sweetness and love. He believes that everyone should love him back—like, right now. He’s still figuring out the whole "personal space" concept and is working on controlling his excitement around friends. It's not that he's being rude; he just hasn’t learned how to pump the brakes when playtime goes from “awesome” to “enough already.” Percy’s story includes a dramatic tale of him allegedly jumping off a train and breaking his left leg. But no worries—he’s fully healed and ready to roll! During his recovery, he spent a lot of time crated, and while it wasn’t his favorite thing, now that he’s off restrictions, he’s become quite vocal about his dislike of being crated when he knows his human is home. It’s more about FOMO than true separation anxiety—he’s perfectly fine when things are calm and he’s either chosen to go in the crate or placed there, even if it’s not his preference. But as soon as the fun starts, you’ll hear from him! He settles quickly in the crate once the humans have left the house. That said, he does still choose to nap in the crate when things are quiet, so it’s clearly not all bad. Since Percy’s early training is a bit of a mystery, he’ll need some basic obedience work to help him become the fantastic ambassador for his breeds that we know he can be.
