Percey and his buddy Hunter were left to fend for themselves in the yard when their owners moved out.  Luckily, the neighbors brought the dogs to us.  If you have to move out of your home, please do not leave your animals behind.  They cannot fend for themselves.  Please, please, please take them to a rescue like PRBJ where they have a chance to find a loving home. 

 

Percey is a very sweet and quiet boy.  He is just looking for a loving forever home.
