Fergal's Story

Fergal is an Irish name meaning “brave man” representing strength and courage. And this name definitely fits him. Fergal is one of the dogs that came from the hoarding situation WBCR was asked to help with. You would never guess that based on how loveable and well-adjusted he is!<br/><br/>This 2 year-old young man is as trusting and loving as they come! From day one in his foster home, Fergal let his fosters bathe and towel dry him, brush him, touch his paws, and place a harness on him. He seeks out human interaction and though he can entertain himself with a toy or another dog, he always comes back for love from people. His fosters joke that he wants to jump into their souls because of how cuddly he is and how much love he wants to receive! Fergal loves meeting new people and even goes to work with his foster mom! He would greet everyone if he could! He is loving and kind towards individuals with disabilities – and could even have a potential as a therapy dog.<br/><br/>Fergal is a trooper in new situations and easily adapts to wherever you go! He travels well in the car and LOVES outings: hikes, walks, jogging, cani-cross, and exploring creeks! Fergal does not seem to react to horses when walking by stalls or paddocks on leash, but he will chase rabbits, turkeys, deer if off-leash. Fergal will need at least an hour of vigorous activity per day does best with daily activity that has included runs, walks, hikes, etc. He can also jump out of his exercise pen inside the house with ease, so he may be a good candidate for agility! But because of this, he should be watched when off-leash in a fenced area.<br/><br/>Fergal also loves every dog he has met so far and has even enticed his BC foster sister to play tug-of-war (she usually just excels at ignoring the fosters). He doesn’t have to live with another dog, but would do great in a multi-dog household.<br/><br/>Fergal is crate trained and seems to find comfort when crated at night. His fosters are always the ones to wake him up in the morning – he is such a good boy overnight! He is fully house-trained and will ask to go out if needed.<br/><br/>Fergal’s cutest quirk: He likes to ‘hug’ his water bowl, sleeps near it, seems to find comfort in it, lays next to it and when he drinks his paw often finds its way into the bowl too.<br/><br/>Due to our small volunteer team, we can’t respond to inquiries to this listing.
