Percy - Standard Poodle and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Wheaton, Illinois

Percy's journey with us started with a completely fresh start - literally! When he first arrived as a stray, his fur was heavily matted and needed to be fully shaved. Now that he is feeling light, comfortable and weightless, his true personality is beginning to shine through. He is leaving his rough start behind and is ready to begin his next chapter.
Percy is a quiet, thoughtful soul who takes a little time to warm up to new faces. The world can be a bit overwhelming for him right now, so he's looking for a patient, loving home that can give him the time and space he needs to blossom.
