Percy is an 8-year old Goldendoodle. He loves life, enjoys meeting people and other dogs and is a joy to be around. He has a special gift of making people feel calm and loved.

Last year Percy’s health took a turn and he was diagnosed with diabetes. He developed glaucoma and started to lose his sight. His eyes were removed in September. At a recent vet visit Percy was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma, a type of glandular cancer. Without treatment, Percy has only months left with us, but with surgery and chemotherapy his life expectancy is in years.

Those of you that know us know that our dog, Burrnie (also a blind poodle mix), was diagnosed with lymphoma (an aggressive form of cancer) in 2020. He received chemotherapy and we were lucky to have him in our lives for another year. We know all too well the emotional and financial toll caring for a dog with cancer can take. But knowing the reward that comes with giving life to a loved one, we are prepared to take on this new challenge.

We also know that Burrnie had his paw in helping bring Percy to us. He knew we were the right people to care for him. People have started to ask if we rescue dogs, and I guess technically we do, but truly they rescue us. They show us resilience, bravery and how to love blindly. We are so happy to have Percy in our lives and, with your support, intend to continue to give him a healthy and well-lived life.
