Meet Your New Best Friend!

Looking for a loyal companion to brighten your days? Meet Fergus, a charming and well-behaved dog who is looking for a new home due to his humans having some serious health issues.

Fergus is an absolute sweetheart who adores people of all ages, including children. He is 5 yrs old and 65 lbs. He's spent time in a home for a while and has learned the ropes, and is now a pro at being the best boy ever!

Fergus is:

• Well-trained: He knows commands like sit, stay, down, place, heel, and more!
• Leash-savvy: Walks with Fergus are a dream-he's got great manners on a leash.
• Affectionate and loyal: Fergus thrives on love and will be your shadow, always ready to cuddle or play.
Fergus would do best as the only animal in the house. While he's fantastic with people, he prefers being the star of the show and isn't a fan of sharing his space with other dogs or cats. Due to his breed, Fergus also has a sensitive stomach and after much trial and error, we have found a very good food for him. It will be necessary for you to continue feeding him veterinarian-prescribed food, Hills Science Diet Gastro Biome dry food

If you're looking for a faithful friend who's ready to give you endless love and companionship, Fergus is the perfect match! He's ready to bring joy, laughter, and lots of tail wags to your life.

With a successful adoption of Fergus, his current humans will be providing the following as part of the adoption:

• Oversized crate with bedding - where Fergus sleeps at night
• Additional comfy bed for anywhere else in your home
• Two cold weather jackets and one raincoat
• Three six-foot nylon leashes
• Fergus' most favorite toys for your home
• One full bag of Gastro Biohm Dry food
Please apply to adopt Fergus at rescueridge.com, and if your application is a possible match, a volunteer will get back to you shortly. No inquiries, please, without an application.
