Fergus 's Story

Fergus is a 9 year old, black, male Scottish Terrier. He’s an extra large boy. Fergus is very friendly to people, he generally gets along well with other dogs but is accustomed to being the only dog. He really just wants the attention of his people/person, could do without the other dog. <br/>Fergus came to us after his owner died suddenly. He’s been very upset about losing his dad and his home, but is slowly adjusting. He lived with a family member for about a month temporarily before we got him. During that time we found out that he had Cushings and had not been treated since the death of his dad, so we started him over in tests and in new medication to manage it. He will need to remain in it for his lifetime, but it should keep this in check and will not shorten his life. He was also quite overweight, so he’s presently on a reducing diet and doing well between that and low calorie veggies as snacks, which he loves, instead of the hot dogs, etc he was getting. He and his dad were inseparable, so he’s accustomed to being with his person fulltime. His adopter would need to be retired or work from home. We’re looking for a home for him in the northeast with a quiet vibe, Scottie experience, and who can understand and afford his daily medication. He’s a nice boy and deserves to live out the rest of his years with love.<br/>If you are interested in learning more about Fergus, or in possibly adopting him, please contact Erica Cerny at ecerny@optonline.net or 973-361-6799

Scottish Terrier Club of Greater New York Rescue's Adoption Policy
The Scottish Terrier Club of Greater New York Rescue adopts to applicants in the northeast US. Our adoption process consists of completing our preliminary application online at https://stcgny.com/rescue/how2adopt/ for a review. If our club's adoption requirements are met, you would complete a longer application, and we will check the references you provide on that form. Finally, a home visit is scheduled to see where the dog would be living. Please feel free to contact us by email to ask any questions, or for more information to help you make your adoption decision. Our club has set the adoption fee at $350, but for older dogs or those needing continuing medical care, we use a sliding scale for fees, as we understand the adopter will have additional expenses. We prefer to complete the screening process prior to meeting the dog you are interested in, but you can meet them first if that is more convenient for you. But, please understand that you cannot take the dog home with you until the screening process has been completed and your application has been approved by the rescue committee. Your cooperation will speed up the process! Our rescues are spayed or neutered before adoption, unless there is an age or medical reason prohibiting this. They are examined by our vet, vaccinated, checked for intestinal parasites, tested for heartworm and 3 types of local tick borne illnesses. Many are microchipped. They are professionally groomed if that's possible. Older dogs or anyone undergoing surgery will have full bloodwork done to verify their general health status. Other procedures may also be done as indicated before they are available for adoption. Copies of all these medical records, as well as any we are able to get from their past history, are provided at adoption time. You will be asked to sign a meet and greet form before meeting them, and an adoption contract if you adopt them. Please ask if you have any questions, we're happy to share any information about ourselves and our rescues!
