Meet Perry

Perry is a little yorkie-poodle mix – you can see his before and after pictures! His previous owners didn’t seem to understand he takes some grooming, so we had to give him a summer haircut and start all over again. He’s enjoying the new freedom and coolness that his shave down brings!

Perry is crate trained (although he doesn’t “love” it) and still learning housebreaking. He is a big guy in a little body and he has a tendency to claim things as his own, but since his neuter, that has started to calm down and will continue to do so. He likes to go to the far side of his fenced in back yard for some privacy so if he doesn’t have a fenced in yard, he will take some time to adjust to having to go while on a leash.

Perry lives with other dogs and he does fine with them. He acts like he wants to play and then he gets irritated when they actually try to play with them! He really confuses them! He gets over it pretty fast thought and then starts racing around trying to get them to chase him! He probably wouldn’t be the best at a dog park because his mixed signals could come off wrong to some dogs. We haven’t seen him around cats, but he’s a curious little guy. We expect he might chase or try to get them play, but not in a mean way.

Perry loves to meet new people and will run right up to say hi! He is happy to give kisses and sit in anyone’s lap if they will let him! We haven’t seen him with kids, but we expect he will be just as friendly! He does like to jump up for attention, so until he learns otherwise, he could possibly bump into smaller ones, but just because he’s being friendly.

He doesn’t require a ton of exercise, but he does have a little bit of energy. He likes to run and sniff in the backyard, or take a walk, and then he is ready to come inside and snuggle. He really loves to spend time with his family! He likes to follow his foster family around the house and look for attention, so if you are inside watching tv, or sitting still, you can expect Perry to be there with you! Sometimes he will even jump straight up in the air so you can catch and hold him!

Perry is a neat little dog packed full of personality. He is eager to please and should adjust well to most households. He is learning about toys and riding in the car and always seems up for a good time! He has a cute little nubby tail that wags and wags to show his excitement! He is a busy boy but very loving!!

We require a home visit for all of our adoptions. Because of this, we only adopt to homes within 30 minutes of Athens, GA. Please visit our website for more info.(www.athenscaninerescue.com)
