Percy, 4 - for adoption
Golden Retriever | Yorkshire | Looking for a long-term relationship as the only man in your life
About me
Hi, I'm Percy. Friends describe me as "confident", "handsome", and "that dog who somehow got the roast chicken off the counter while nobody was looking."
I'm a 4-year-old Golden Retriever with movie-star looks. I was raised in the Yorkshire countryside and enjoy the finer things in life: sofa cuddles, tummy rubs, long walks, carrying random household objects around as gifts, and being told I'm a very good boy.
The way to win me over
- Tell me I'm handsome.
- Offer snacks.
- Rub my tummy.
- Let me sit next to you on the sofa while we binge-watch TV.
- Mention the word "walk."
- Can move anywhere - if you can do the miles, I can bring the smiles
My simple pleasures
✔ Carrying cushions around the house like precious treasures.
✔ Making dramatic speeches through a squeaky ball.
✔ Patrol duty against squirrels.
✔ Vigilant neighbourhood security against hedgehogs (they know what they did).
✔ Wagging my tail so hard that nearby furniture is at risk.
My red flags 🚩
- I occasionally browse kitchen worktops for investment opportunities.
- I have strong opinions about my lead but am getting better
- I once stole an AirTag and created a family emergency.
- I chase cats
- At 42kg you’ll need to shove up on the sofa for me
What I'm looking for
♥️ A loving home where I can be the star of the show. I've spent my whole life with my brother, but I've decided I'd really thrive as an only dog. Think "leading man" rather than "ensemble cast."
♥️ I'd love experienced humans who appreciate a big, clever, affectionate dog with a dash of mischief and a healthy sense of self-importance.
Fun facts
- Walk beautifully on a lead.
- Excellent recall.
- House trained.
- Great in the car.
- Vaccinated, neutered, microchipped and ready for my next adventure.
- Will arrive with all my belongings like a tiny furry house guest moving in permanently.
Most likely to...
- Bring you a cushion you didn't ask for.
- Roll over for a tummy rub halfway through an important conversation.
- Act like you've returned from war after a 10-minute trip to Tesco.
- Turn the mention of my name into a full-body tail-wagging celebration.
Ideal first date
🐕 A countryside walk, followed by snacks, followed by a sofa cuddle, followed by more snacks.
