Arizona Golden Rescue

Percy is a young, 6-month-old pup relinquished to us because of an unstable housing situation. He loves cats (he likes to stand over them), dogs, kids, and pretty much anyone he meets. Upon examination by our vet, he was found to have a deformation of his toes causing the toes to turn inward. His hips were also diagnosed as problematic. The vet hopes that he may grow out of some of his problems with the joints tightening up, but said he may require surgery in a couple of years. Luckily, an adoptive couple were happy to take Percy and give him the long happy life he deserves. Here is their update on him: 

Our family was blessed to have Percy join us in August. Our son spent last summer researching what would be the best dog for our family, after we had lost our other family dog earlier that year. And he also wanted to have his 1st dog, using his own money. He set his heart on a Golden! Percy adapted quickly to our family and has become a true companion for our son. The two boys love to go on hikes, long walks and snuggle on the couch together. He is a great traveler and loves our weekend trips to our cabin. This winter, we discovered he loves romping through the snow and chasing and eating snow balls. This spring, he loves our hikes by the streams up along the Rim. In fact, there is nothing that keeps Percy out of water, be it the pool, a stream or lake! These two boys are so happy to be forever friends and companions. Thank you, Arizona Golden Rescue! 

The absolutely perfect “A Boy and His Dog” story. Congratulations!
