Meet Ferris! - Loyal and Devoted to His family!!

Crate trained for eating and sleeping, and spent time in crate relaxing throughout the day

Loves to spend time in sunny spots outdoors

Thinks he's a lap dog, and will plunk himself down without any regard for your personal space

Rides well in a car, and gets excited to go on adventures

Walks wonderfully on a leash

Has great manners at home!

Does not share his stuff well with other dogs; he can coexist with other dogs with proper direction and boundaries.

Not good with cats or small dogs

Ferris is not a dog for a busy or multi-pet household - but for the right person looking for a deeply loyal, devoted companion, he has the potential to be an incredibly loving best friend.
