Greetings!  I’m Ferrero, a 7 year-old, 65lb, male husky mix.  I am a gentle giant, looking for just the right forever home to accept me as their loyal partner in all things.

 

I am kennel trained, house trained, dog and cat friendly, and have lived with children of all ages.  I am thriving in my foster home where I can be the center of the world with lots of attention and daily exercise.  I have perfect manners and obedience.  I don’t even get on the furniture!

 

My foster mom calls me her “shadow dog” because I like to follow her movements and just “be” wherever she is.  I don’t get in the way:  I settle down and observe what she is doing.  

 

I'll be honest with you, I have had some challenges with separation anxiety when my foster mom leaves the house. But we have made huge strides during my time in foster!  I would do best in a home with another confident dog whose behavior I can model and shadow. If I am kenneled during the day when my foster mom leaves, I do best when next to a dog friend who is also kenneled.  I sleep through the night in a dog bed in the bedroom where my family is sleeping.  

 

I would love to be in a home where I am involved in daily activities.  I would thrive in a home where some time each day is dedicated to me alone or to me with my other dog friend(s).  I love my daily leash walks in the morning where I can be with my person and check out the goings-on in the neighborhood. 

 

I have lived well in a home with other dogs and cats.  I’m interested in cats at first, but if they are dog-savvy, I quickly lose interest in them.  I have also lived in a home with small children, but would do best in a home with a very solid, steady routine.

 

I have gone on lots of hikes in the mountains with my foster family and dog friends.  I follow right behind my person like a shadow, off-leash.  I am very attentive to commands that my person gives me, and have 100% dependable recall.  My obedience is pristine.

 

I play well with other dogs if the other dog initiates the play.  I have successfully attended doggie daycare.

 

Because I am such a good dog in so many respects, my foster mom said she is willing to wait for just the right person or family to come along who wants to adopt me.  Do you think that might be you?  Please fill out an application at:  https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication  and my foster mom will set up a time for us to meet.  I might be a little shy at first, but you will see that I am a gentle giant.  I am waiting for my perfect forever family to come along and to accept me as their shadow.

Good with Dogs, Good with Kids, Good with Adults
