Hi, my name is Fergie, and I’m a curious, playful girl with a whole lot of love to give! My big puppy eyes are one of my best features (at least, that’s what I think!), and I’m interested in just about everything happening around me. I’m an intelligent little lady who loves exploring, learning, and being part of the action.
I’m a local girl! Someone found me and brought me to a safe place in St. Paul, where I eventually found my way into a wonderful foster home. Now I’m busy learning all about this thing called the good life, and I’m loving every minute of it!
I’m a pretty smart cookie when it comes to training! Potty training is going really well, and I’m practically a rockstar at it. I keep my kennel clean and will even give a little cry by the door when I need to go outside. My only accidents happen when my humans don’t notice me heading toward the back door. So, I’d say I’m doing my part!
I’m also kennel trained. I sleep in my kennel at night and stay there when my foster family leaves the house. I might offer a few little cries at first, but I settle down pretty quickly. My nighttime setup is extra cozy: comfy blankets, a toy or bone, a big blanket covering my kennel, and even some classical music to lull me to sleep. What can I say? I appreciate the finer things!
I picked up “sit” pretty quickly and am currently working on “stay,” “free,” and “drop it.” I haven’t had a chance to attend any formal training classes yet because I’m still pretty new to my foster home, but I can’t wait to go! I love people, dogs, attention, and treats, so I think I’ll be a great student. Treats and a little extra love are definitely the way to my heart and will motivate me to work hard. And while I’m still learning my manners, I’ve already mastered one very important skill: stealing hearts! My foster family is pretty sure everyone who meets me will fall in love.
I have two human foster siblings, ages 18 and 16, and I’m not sure who loves whom more! I haven’t had the opportunity to meet any cats yet, so that’s still a mystery. I’m also lucky enough to share my foster home with two Save-A-Bull alumni dogs! Blanche is the older lady of the house at 9 years old, and Stanley is the younger guy at 6. Blanche may be a Boxer/Pit Bull mix, while Stanley looks like a Weimaraner/Pit Bull mix. Stanley is quite a bit taller than Blanche, and he still has plenty of puppy playfulness in him – which is great news for me!
When I’m playing with the big dogs, I tend to be more on the submissive side. I love chasing toys, playing fetch, and having a good game of tug-of-war. Stanley and I especially enjoy wrestling together. Having two experienced resident dogs around is pretty great, and I’m sure they’re helping me learn how to be an even better dog.
Some other fun facts about me:
Why are you the very best dog in the whole world?
I love to snuggle! The closer the better in my opinion.
What would your dream day consist of?
My dream day would be filled with fresh air, lots of cuddles, play, and maybe an outing with my new family.
What are some of your favorite toys?
I love bones to chew and stuffed animals or ropes to chase. So pretty much all the toys!
Play all day or cuddles and snoozes?
I love both! At this age I think I’m getting more snoozes in during the day.
What makes your body wiggle and your tail wag harder than anything?
When the people that love me come home or wake me up in the morning. My whole body can’t help but wiggle, I just love my humans.
Give me a description of your dream forever family.
I could cuddle all day! So, hopefully my new family likes having me close by. Just looking for some love, play, and a comfy bed.
I’m a sweet, curious, playful girl with a bright mind and a big heart. I’m ready to keep learning, make new friends, and find a forever family who will give me plenty of opportunities for fun, adventure, training, and snuggles. Could that be you?
