Percy was found stray and unclaimed. He was homed for several months via the pound but apparently he nipped a child when 5 children were with him without an adult present. Percy is a little love about 13/14" to the shoulder; lovely vibration, as you can see from his photos. I walked him through the woods and it was an absolute pleasure other than I could not get a head shot. 34 photos later I more or less managed it. He has been in kennels for 2--3 months. He is neutered but we will be getting his vax status up to date.
He has his own personality. He saw his kennel and put his feet down..so I carried him in and we had lovely cuddles as a consequence. _________________ You can't train the terrier out of a terrier!
Percy, Percy what are you doing here? Once again you scratch your head and wonder how such a super little dog ended up in kennels. He is an absolute treasure. Walked him with Buddy and they had a lovely, busy time. Percy is an easy easy boy to walk but it is heartbreaking to have to lift him up to get him back into his kennel At least it means plenty of cuddles for this lad .

Percy and Buddy walked together today but didn't take a huge amount of notice of each other - possibly because Buddy was having a huge sulk with me
As he trots along, Percy does a wonderful impression of a crab - a very slanted trot, almost as if his back legs are moving faster than his front ones. His markings are quite remarkable - very handsome but danity little chap.
On our return he decided to flatten himself on the floor and go no further so I had to carry him back to his kennel. I left him with a chew and treats which he seemed very pleased with.
Can any dog be happier to be out of his kennel?? I think not! Dear Percy was overjoyed to leap into the warm car when he snuggled into the bedding and slept all the way to meet his new foster family....would the meeting go well, would he like his new foster sister.... - this is the result:
The dogs had a wonderful off lead playabout, chasing each other madly and just having fun. Percy was very responsive to his name and sat for treats. He is SO happy and his foster family seem delighted with him.

Have just had an update from Frances and it seems Percy is being a good boy still -
"Percy is such a good little fella. He travels well in the car, is house trained, and good on the lead, (When settled I will try off lead as he seems to have good recall in garden) and good with other dogs. He has fitted in so well with our family, it is hard to believe that he has been in cold kennels for 2-3 months! He gets on really well with my boys aged 10/12 showing no aggression towards them. When he arrived he had to try everyone's laps and loves lots of cuddles. He does get on with my Labrador but does get protective towards his treats resulting in a small growl if the lab gets too close (which is understandable as you know how greedy labs are!) Percy just wants to be loved and hopes his forever home comes along soon. !
I am hoping to walk with Percy later this week so will take some more photos
I had the pleasure of meeting Percy on his walk this morning! Very hard to get a good photo as his pals were dashing about and he didn't want to be left out, standing around for a photoshoot .
He is doing really well and Frances is doing a great job at establishing some firm house rules before Percy establishes his own Percy greets other dogs very politely - even Rigsby tolerated him so he must be very non confrontational - and he and Izzy the lab have got on well although Percy could probably be just as happy as an only dog. He adores attention and cuddles and is quickly becoming attached to his foster mum.
He is clearly very intelligent and trainable, responsive to his name and food orientated. His true terrier character is emerging and he does need boundaries to be set and maintained so that he doesn't take advantage (as any self respecting terrier might!
He really is an adorable fellow and deserves a home to call his own so that he can continue to blossom.
Just received a really positive report on Percy . He is now sleeping quietly through the night and accepting the "no we dont bark at 4am" rule!! He has been fantastic with the children - they dont pick him up but he comes to them for cuddles and will jump up into their arms.
He seems totally accepting of other dogs and will happily play with them although is also happy to amuse himself. He is only tiny with a big heart and he is hoping his permanent home will find him soon!
Today I bumped into the delicious Percy on the common... in fact, he was faced with about 12 dogs all at once because we all arrived at the same time including Rescue Remedies dog Bruno who was rehomed in November!
Percy greeting a new friend very nicely -
The weather was pretty vile so pictures arent great but Percy was a star, loved meeting all his new friends, walked beautifully and Frances reports he is being a star house guest and settling really well! He is really flourishing in foster and is going to make some lucky Jack Russell fan very very happy!!
Lindsey jumped in the car to meet Percy as soon as her homecheck was passed.
Frances and family have helped him so much prepare for that moment...Percy is now homed. _________________ You can't train the terrier out of a terrier!
