FACTSHEET: ALL ABOUT Perseus | |
---|---|
Pictures (click to enlarge previews) | |
Persi is extremely affectionate, gentle and loyal to our volunteers. He loves going for a walk and tolerates all the treatments and care we give him for his yeast infections. Outside of his living space he is great with other people too, no problems at the vet or meeting people on walks generally. Persi is a Greek shepherd dog however, and has proven to ‘do his job’ at times. He is likely to try to protect his property and family/people close to him if he perceives a threat. For this reason he needs a suitable environment to live in, an experienced home with knowledge of shepherd dogs. His guardians must help him understand that it is not always his job to protect and that they will protect him also. | |
