Fergie is a spayed female Shepherd/Labrador Retriever mix rescued in Alabama. She is simply beautiful! Although only 3 years old, Fergie is an old soul who loves to sit on her porch and watch people go by! She is sweet and lovable.  Fergie is looking for an older soul to share her life in a quiet, low stress, small household without children as large, busy households freak her out. Fergie is potty trained. She is motivated by treats and picks up commands quickly. Fergie does well with dogs outside and would be okay with a male laid back dog her size (no small dogs). Fergie is very committed to her routine and needs slow introductions to visitors. She is leash trained and does well in the car (though she isn't a fan of the vet!). Fergie's prior family used her crate as punishment, so no crates for this girl. She is non-destructive and doesn't bark when left alone. Her favorite things in life are to cuddle and look out the window. Most of the time Fergie just wants to be wherever her person is. Fergie would do okay in the outer boroughs, but NYC would likely be too much for Fergie to handle as she never met an elevator she liked! Fergie is super-smart and would do best with a strong person to be her alpha. Fergie has had a rough start in life and needs a patient person who can give her time to decompress and help her learn to trust people again. She just wants to be loved.  If you can give Fergie the quiet, happy life she is looking for, please apply online to adopt Fergie at www.rescuedogsrocknyc.org. RDR's adoption fees include the cost of spay/neuter/microchip at an RDR-approved facility, whether completed before adoption or if deferred because the pet is too young or has a medical issue.  All pets are also current on age-appropriate vaccines at the time of adoption. Given technical constraints on this database, this pet's location may not be as listed here. We can, however, provide transport support for pets in foster at a considerable distance from the adopter.
