From the Foster Family:
The Past...Perri was found abandoned as a single dad with his two puppies in a neighborhood. He stayed with his puppies like a devoted father ensuring their comfort and love. He and his family were quickly swooped up by kind people and taken to a holding shelter in Alabama.

The Present...Currently, Perri landed himself in a foster home here in North Mankato Minnesota, and is meshing beautifully. His puppies have also found placement and are also thriving nicely. He lives with two senior-aged dogs and often finds himself nurturing them or engaging in friendly play with them. He is bubbly, warm-spirited, intelligent, affectionate, and loving. He, within a week, learned our  routine and has shown that he is adaptable. His favorite things include playing with stuffies, car rides, fetching, exploring the fenced backyard, going for walks, and his ultimate favorite is snuggling under the covers. Sometimes he barks when meeting new people but is quickly learning that he doesn't need to talk so much on the first date to make an impression to be noticed. He corrects easily and aims to please others.

The Future... Perri hopes to find himself a forever home where he can be your best friend and sidekick. He would love to have another dog in the home to play with and humans to snuggle with. He is ready to turn the page and write many chapters with his forever family.
