Percy, Percy, Percy - a story of survival for sure.
Percy was found emaciated and starving in the hot Memphis weather. Despite being blind, he survived on the mean streets of Memphis, which is beyond imagination. The vet believes he has been blind since birth and described him as a gentle boy during the exam.
Percy initially went to a southern foster home, where he flourished. This boy is now at his New England foster home and doing wonderfully. He learned the layout of his foster home in just a couple of days - he will do that again - it's amazing how they learn so quickly. He does great with the other dogs in the house and is wonderful with all humans. Cats are an unknown - would assume he could sniff a cat out and be interested but unable to chase.
This guy is super food motivated, which is helping his foster mom work with him on some training. They are working on basic commands, including leash walking, and he's catching on fast.
He loves squeaky toys, and his foster mom loves tossing them around the room so he'll find them.
Percy loves to be touched and is super happy to hang out cuddled up with you.
His Foster mom is working on crate training. He will go in and sleep there (for safety, as he's blind) if you throw a treat in to make it worth his while. He does, however, make what his foster mom says is the cutest noise when he's in his crate, and he knows you're close by—after all, he wants to be with the humans! Once it gets quiet, he's out like a light.
This delightful boy will make someone(s) an amazing friend and companion. He learns his surroundings quickly, and is truly a happy dog.

More about this rescue
PAWS is comprised of a small group of volunteers from New England and Tennessee trying to reduce the euthanization rate (previously 90%) at the Tipton County Animal Control shelter in Brighton, Tennessee. This shelter is forced to euthanize thousands of animals each year due to irresponsible pet owners that do not spay/ neuter their dogs in the area. Millions of dogs in America are euthanized each year due to lack of space and lack of funding to try and find them better homes.
Our mission is to save as many animals as possible, removing them from the shelter, having their veterinary needs met prior to traveling and then finding them loving homes throughout New England. We do this only with the assistance of many people volunteering their time by going to the shelter, transporting the dogs to the vet, fostering dogs who need special care, and arranging for their new and happy homes in this area. Most importantly, we cannot do any of this without those people willing to open their homes and hearts to these lovely creatures.
