    Percy says hi!

    Hi, I'm Percy!

    After spending years racing, the world outside the track felt overwhelming. Simple things like walks, new places and meeting other dogs were scary because I'd never experienced them before.

    Thanks to Dogs Trust supporters, I received the specialist care, patience and encouragement I needed to build my confidence and discover life beyond racing.

    Will you sign up to the 100 Miles in October Challenge and help Dogs Trust give more dogs like me the care, support and second chance they deserve?
