Ferris's Story

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out an Adoption Questionnaire at<br/>https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/43315/generic.<br/>You can learn about the adoption process by visiting: http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt/.<br/><br/>Dog's Name: Ferris (FER1025ALAMN)<br/>Estimated Breed: Australian Shepherd / Rat Terrier MIX<br/>Approximate Age: 1.5 yrs<br/>Approximate Weight: 30 lbs<br/>Currently Living at: Boarding<br/>Adoption Fee: $400<br/><br/>DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Meet Ferris – The Four-Legged Acrobat Extraordinaire! <br/> Step right up and feast your eyes on Ferris, the high-flying, tail-wagging, treat-chasing wonder! This young Australian Shepherd and Rat Terrier mix is a medium-sized bundle of fun who's ready to turn your backyard into his personal circus (don't worry—he's the good kind of chaos).<br/> Ferris gets along great with other dogs and believes playdates are serious business. He's also quite the athlete—so athletic, in fact, that he can clear a 4-foot fence without breaking a sweat. If there were a doggie Olympics, he'd bring home the gold. Because of his aerial talents, Ferris will need a secure yard (no flimsy fences or trampoline escapes, please). He's working on his house training and learning fast—this smart boy aims to please!<br/> Ferris is fun, affectionate, and ready to find his forever family. If you're looking for a loyal companion with brains and boundless love, apply today and meet Ferris while he's still on the market! <br/><br/>Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family. <br/><br/>Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.<br/><br/>Foster Program: Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home. For more information on becoming a foster parent, and our Foster Program, visit http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/foster/ or email our Foster Coordinator at foster@k-9lifesavers.org<br/><br/>SPONSOR ME!
