Hi. Hello. It’s me. Ferdinand 💙 Yes, that Ferdinand, the one who stops to smell the flowers… and then accidentally knocks over the vase because I forgot I’m 74 pounds. Let’s get the important stuff out of the way! I’m a 1 year old Rottie/Doberman, neutered, house trained, crate trained, heartworm negative, fully vetted, and very much a good boy. I love men 🙋‍♂️, women 🙋‍♀️, dogs 🐶, car rides 🚙, couch romping 🛋️, and carrying my babies 🧸 (small stuffed animals that are my emotional support children). Oh, and my babies? They go everywhere! crate, couch, yard, and kennel room If you find a stuffed animal in your shoe that was me. You’re welcome! Now let me tell you my glow up story: when the rescue tagged me, I was in rough shape, like, unrecognizable. My legs were swollen, my skin was bleeding, I couldn’t even hardly walk on my own, I was quiet, defeated, and tired in a way no dog should ever be. What happened to me wasn’t an accident. It was neglect. The kind that doesn’t happen overnight, but over time when basic care, comfort, and love are missing. I had been hurting for a long time, and it showed in every step I struggled to take! Nobody knew what I’d turn into. Honestly… I didn’t either. But then my foster stepped in and worked actual magic 🪄 Healing, patience, love, and consistency later 💥 boom. Here I am! Healthy, happy, and handsome. I enjoy chest scratches, belly rubs, and very serious snuggle sessions that last approximately 10 seconds before I dramatically exit. I have a medium energy level making me perfect for anyone! I love walks, learning the neighborhood, playing with dog friends, and then collapsing on the couch like I just ran a marathon 💨Whoever adopts me is going to be one incredibly lucky family. You’re not just getting a dog! you’re getting a survivor, a comedian, a professional couch romping specialist, and the most loyal shadow you’ve ever had. So… what do you think? I’ll bring my babies 🧸 You bring the couch!
