Fergie is a 12-year-old, 48-pound senior girl who came in as a stray and has been absolutely thriving in foster care. With her calm, happy-go-lucky personality and gentle spirit, she’s quickly proving herself to be the kind of dog who fits effortlessly into home life—and into hearts.

Despite her age, Fergie still has plenty of energy and enthusiasm for life. She enjoys walks, stays active at a comfortable pace, and even does little happy dances when it’s time for food or a stroll. She’s quiet in the home, sleeps peacefully through the night on her dog bed, and is reliably potty trained.

Why Fergie Is So Special

Fergie is the definition of an easy companion. She gets along beautifully with other animals and enjoys gentle interaction, but her real focus is her person. She loves following her humans from room to room like a soft little shadow, always ready for companionship, snacks, or a cozy place nearby.

What She’s Looking For

✔️ A loving, relaxed home where she can be close to her people
✔️ Someone who enjoys gentle walks and low-key companionship
✔️ A family that appreciates a calm, affectionate senior
✔️ A home where she can continue her easygoing routine

Fergie may be a senior, but she brings a lightness and warmth that makes every day feel a little easier. She’s steady, sweet, and full of quiet personality—the kind of dog who doesn’t demand attention, but naturally earns it.
