How many times can a little dog’s heart be broken before she finally gets to stay? Meet Fergie, a beautiful 2-year-old, 17-pound Miniature Schnauzer mix whose young life has already been filled with far more goodbyes than any dog should ever have to endure. Fergie was only 2 months old when she was first surrendered to a shelter. Imagine being just a tiny puppy and already wondering where your family went. Someone adopted her from the shelter—not to keep her, but with the intention of finding her a forever home. Eventually, that forever home seemed to arrive. But once her family realized just how much work, patience, and training a young puppy requires, Fergie was surrendered again. Then, finally, she found a family who welcomed her into their home. She has been with them for more than a year, long enough to believe that perhaps this was it. Her family. Her home. Her forever.
But sometimes life changes in ways no one expects. Sadly, her family’s circumstances have changed, and Fergie now needs to find a new home. Her owner is absolutely heartbroken to have to make this decision. This isn’t because Fergie did something wrong. She is simply a loving little dog who has been caught in circumstances beyond her control. And that’s what makes Fergie’s story so heartbreaking. Yet despite all the changes, all the uncertainty, and all the people who have come and gone, Fergie is still a sweet, loving girl who wants nothing more than to be loved and included. She is wonderful with other dogs and is house and leash trained. She has also done well with a pre-teen in one of her previous homes. She deserves something very simple: a family that understands that “forever” really means forever. A family willing to give her the patience, security, and unconditional love she has been searching for since she was just a tiny puppy. Maybe you can be the one to finally show Fergie that she doesn’t have to say goodbye again. Ask for Fergie when you complete your application under the Adopt tab. Adoption Fee: $400
