About Ferrero

Meet Ferrero, a 185-pound masterpiece of brindle stripes and a heart of gold. At three years old, he truly embodies the "gentle giant" title with his affectionate demeanor. Ferrero loves to lean against you for a scratch or gaze up with soulful eyes, showing that he simply wants to be close to his people. As a velcro dog, he thrives on companionship and cuddles. Ferrero joined Goodest Dog Rescue after his previous owners made the tough choice to surrender him for the medical attention he needs. He's currently dealing with a CCL (knee) tear and seeks a patient adopter who can support him through surgery and recovery. His ideal home would be with someone experienced in caring for giant breeds who understands the careful pace required for healing. Despite his injury, Ferrero's spirit shines bright, greeting everyone with a wagging tail. A friend to everyone, he would likely fit well in a home with children or other pets that respect his space during recovery. If you're ready for 185 pounds of love and have the dedication to help him back on his feet, Ferrero is eager to become your loyal companion. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
