Full bio (updated March 6): Please meet Fergie! She is an adorable white and tan English bulldog, who is a bit on the smaller side at 37 pounds. She is such a cutie pie, and her little tongue is always sticking out. Fergie came into our care after being dropped at a shelter by a former breeder going out of business. Before coming to BBR, she knew no other life than living in a cage and having puppies.
Since being in her foster home, Fergie has really come out of her shell, and is an absolute sweetheart! Fergie loves her toys, especially her purple ball! She loves to chase it and push it all over the house. Fergie is super smart, and really enjoys interactive dogs toys. She is a sweet little girl who loves to cuddle and constant attention. She REALLY loves her humans, but does not seem to like other animals very much. She gets very jealous of the other dogs in the home getting attention, so she will need to go to a home with no other dogs. Fergie is also not a fan of cats, so no cats in her adoptive home either.
Fergie was recently adopted out and brought back to us because she was "playing too rough" with the 8 year old in the house. So she is once again back in our care. We have decided she would do best in a home with kids who are 12 years old and older. Fergie doesn't seem to like "rowdy" children and can be a little "mouthy" when she plays. Her current foster family has learned this "mouthy" behavior can be almost completely eliminated by keeping her busy with activities and occupying her time. Remember, this girl lived her whole life in a cage and was used solely for breeding - so she has some play time to catch up on! A furever family that has a good understanding of Bulldog behavior would be great for Fergie.
Fergie is an excellent eater, which is good because she needs to put on some weight. Fergie likes her crate and is crate trained; she does like the safety and security of being in her crate.
Overall, Fergie is a healthy girl who is spayed and up to date on shots. Please consider opening up your heart and giving Fergie her loving furever home!
March 1 update: Fergie is a fun, loving bulldog and is very smart. She amazes us with her ability to figure out interactive dog toys and her physical agility. She will figure out a way to be near her human; including climbing onto an end table to get onto the couch. She can scale a plastic baby gates in seconds. She loves to play with her purple ball, pushing & chasing it. Occupying her time thru activities has nearly eliminated her "mouthy" behavior. She loves car rides, and loves to eat and has gained some much needed weight. Fergie did spend a few days with my daughter's dog and toward the end started to get better - we are hopeful that with more acclimation it may be possible for her to be other dog friendly. She also loves playing chase with the laser pointer!
December 28 update: Fergie is settling in nicely to her foster home. She is a sweet little girl, who loves to cuddle and loves constant attention. She has the cutest little freckles on her ears. She has moderate energy and does not run away. This little girl loves to please and loves all her foster family members. She doesn't mind being in her crate, but has not been around other dogs so she has to gradually get used to her foster brother.
Fergie is a good eater which is good because she needs to gain some weight. She is very little and only weighs 33 pounds. Fergie is a favorite at the vet's office and everyone who meets her falls in love with her. She likes to nuzzle your legs to remind you she needs a pat on the head or a hug.
December 16 update: Poor Fergie is pretty sick.... she has been staying with our vet and has been all checked out. She has a cough and nasal discharge, on which they are running tests to find out the cause. Fergie also has a heart murmur - a grade 3 out of 6. She also has luaxating patella in her left knee. Fergie will need spayed and likely have entropian done.
Intake info: Please meet Fergie! She came to us without a name, after she was dumped at a shelter by a breeder who is presumably going out of business - we have taken in 6 of their dogs from the same shelter in just a few days. Fergie seems to be pretty ill, with lots of snot running out of her nose. We are evaluating her needs and will update as we know
more.
