I've been Adopted!

Percy came into rescue with his younger sister Princess. Percy has been recently diagnosed with diabetes and their Mom could not afford to care for him. Princess is very attached to Percy and would love to be adopted with him, but with a secure home Percy should do just fine on his own.

LIKES:

• Being with other dogs 
• Being held and snuggled
• Lounging on the couch
• Snuggling in bed
• Nylabones

DISLIKES:

• None
• He’d love more food

MEDICAL:

• Diabetes. His foster Mom was surprised to find out how easy his care is. He is fed the same type of food, in the same amount, at the same time twice a day. He receives a shot of insulin right afterwards. The needle is very small and fine and Percy doesn’t even flinch when he receives his shot
• He will need a blood test to measure his overall insulin level in a few weeks and then a couple of times a year from now on.
• He had a previous vaccine reaction and is currently past due on his shots. He will receive them later once it’s determined how regulated his diabetes is.
• He may eventually benefit from a prescription diabetic diet, but he currently is on Iams weight management.
• He should live to a normal, healthy pug old age
• He is currently receiving eye ointment because his eyes were a little red

OTHER:

• Uses a doggy door pretty much all the time. He sometimes doesn’t make it.
• Eats a limited amount of weight control food 
• Fine with kids, cats, other dogs
• Very sweet tempered
• Loves to sit on the couch and keep you company
• Rides nicely in a car

(Adoption fee for Princes and Percy together is $350)
