Do you like dogs, but also enjoy personal space? Do you like to play with your dog, but also like when they entertain themselves? Are you looking for a dog with a big personality? That’s me!! 

 

I’m  Perigee, I’m just over 1 year old and weigh in around 40 lbs. I have beautiful brindle coloring and am listed as a lab mix, but it’s really anyone’s guess. But I’m fully grown now and I’m a good medium size dog, perfect for traveling, playing or laying about the house!

 

My foster mom calls me a cat-dog because I’m really not big on cuddling, I like to bat balls around the house, and I love a good cozy sleeping spot! Although being part cat doesn’t make me the best with other cats, but I can live with them if the cat is dog smart. I'm a bit of a drama queen and make all sorts of grumbles, sighs and other silly noises to let you know how I feel about things. I do bark sometimes as well, but not a ton. I'm silly and goofy sometimes, and just a fun guy to know.

 

I’m good with people and love to try and play with other dogs. I’m especially good with kids, even little kids, as I’m gentle and don’t mind their antics. Ironically though, I don’t like puppies, they make me grumpy. I’m fantastic at outings as I’m not reactive and do well in most environments. I’m also a pro at car rides! 

 

I’m 100% great in the house, never have any accidents. I am constantly on the lookout for any spare food though.  I love stuffed toys and playing fetch. I sleep well in my crate at night and while you are away. My foster things I would be an easy dog to take just about anywhere and do anything!

 

What’s the catch? I take a little more care than the average dog. 

 

I have Mega Espophogis. That means I have to eat in a special chair (or just propped up somewhere, but the special chair helps) because my esophagus doesn't do it's job (lazy!) and I need gravity to help make sure my food gets to my stomach - otherwise I will regurgitate. The chair and the right food (dehydrated food is my fav right now) makes all the difference! I also take a couple of pills daily. My foster says it takes her about 45 minutes for each meal, but about 30 minutes of that is just me taking a nap in my chair while the food settles. She has 2 young kids and so far the feedings have not been a burden, and kids love to help!

 

I have been with Rescue Rovers since I was a puppy and my medications and feeding routine are very well managed. My foster will happily provide detailed instructions to make the transition easy! See my videos for what it looks like to prep my food and meds.
