What a beautiful dog

07/30/2025

❤️ 🐾 Looking for your heart dog? Your soul dog? Ferris might be the one. ❤️ 🐾

This young boy is pure magic; an A+++ with the gentlest spirit and the kindest eyes.

Ferris is just under 2 years old and weighs about 55 pounds. He spent most of his puppyhood in a shelter, through no fault of his own. But we saved him, and now we’re searching for the lucky person or family who gets to call him theirs.

He's currently in a foster home and is doing wonderfully. All the feedback from his foster and his previous vet team is that he is one special DOG..

Why Ferris is so special:

**Deeply intuitive and affectionate

**Feels like he was made just for you—tuned into your energy, always nearby

**Would make an incredible emotional support companion

**Truly stunning: unique polka dot markings and a camel-brown half face

**House-trained—he lets you know when he needs to go out

**Dog-friendly and very social

**Gentle and playful, but also calm and happy to relax by your side

**Walks beautifully on a leash

**Knows “sit” and is eager to learn more

Ferris is the kind of dog who stays with you long after you meet him. His soulful eyes say it all. He’s a once-in-a-lifetime companion.

Whoever adopts Ferris won’t just gain a dog. They’ll gain a best friend.

Ferris is 2 years old and weighs 55 lbs. He is vetted, neutered, and chipped.

Ferris is being fostered in NY. Our adoption areas include: Georgia, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maine, Vermont, Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire.
