Additional Notes

Percy, 4

Golden Retriever | Yorkshire | Looking for a long-term relationship

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 (my official name is Blue Pacino, which should tell you everything you need to know). 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."

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 believe all food belongs to me until proven otherwise.

I occasionally browse kitchen worktops for investment opportunities.

I have strong opinions about my lead.

If another dog has something nice, I may suddenly decide it`s actually mine.

I once stole an AirTag and created a family emergency.

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.

He’s for you if you`re looking for a loyal best friend, professional cuddler, amateur squirrel detective, and extremely handsome Golden Retriever with just enough cheekiness to keep life interesting.
