About Fernando

Fernando is a large mixed breed dog with a soft black and white coat. This friendly boy enjoys the company of both dogs and cats, making him a great addition to a multi-pet household. However, having come from an abusive situation, he may be slow to trust new people, so patience is key. Treats are his motivator, and he will gladly show you affection in exchange for something tasty. Though he is strong and energetic, he needs a handler who can manage his strength on walks. Fernando does not get along with young children, so an adult home would be best. His gentle nature and loyal personality shine through once he feels secure. If you're ready to invest time and kindness into building a bond, Fernando will reward you with unwavering companionship. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
