Meet Percy - loyal, brave, and ready for his next adventure!
Percy is a brown brindle and white lab-hound cross who's looking for his forever home.
Found as a stray in Clarington, Percy has shown shelter staff that he's a well-rounded and friendly dog. He’s brave but can be cautious sometimes. Percy can be a little unsure around new men at first, but once properly introduced, he settles in well.
Percy would thrive in a home where he is given patience, consistency, and the chance to bond. He is a great mix of adventure and loyalty-whether it's exploring the backyard or curling up after a long walk.
Percy has been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, and is ready to meet his forever family. Meet and greets are arranged with approved applications.
