Are you looking for an adventure buddy who is friendly with everyone and everything?! That’s me! I’m Perigee, I’m just over 1 year old and weigh around 35lbs. I'm a beautiful brindle coloring and listed as a lab mix, but it’s really anyone’s guess. But I’m fully grown now and I’m a good medium size dog, perfect for traveling or laying about the house!
I’m a happy go lucky boy and love to play with people and dogs. I’m curious about cats, but typically leave them alone once the cat sets a boundary. I love stuffed toys and playing fetch. I’m good in the house and good in my crate. I have lived with big and little dogs and done fine with both.
I’m great with people and places and new things. I love to go places and while I’m still working on my leash training, I’m enthusiastic and am already pretty good at being the “neutral” dog in most public situations. I’ve done well from trails to stores! I’m great around kids, although I still have a little puppy energy, so I might accidentally knock tiny ones over. My foster thinks I would be an easy dog to take just about anywhere and do anything!
What’s the catch? I take a little more care than the average dog.
I have Mega Espophogis. That means I have to eat in a special chair (or just propped up somewhere, but the special chair helps) because my esophagus doesn't do its job (lazy!) and I need gravity to help make sure my food gets to my stomach - otherwise I will regurgitate (gross and not fun). The chair and the right food (dehydrated food is my fav right now) makes all the difference! I also take a couple of pills daily. My foster says it takes her about 45 minutes for each meal, but about 30 minutes of that is just me taking a nap in my chair while the food settles. She has 2 young kids and so far the feedings have not been a burden, and kids love to help!
I have been with Rescue Rovers since I was a puppy and my medications and feeding routine are very well managed. My foster will happily provide detailed instructions to make the transition easy! See my videos for what it looks like to prep my food and meds.
