About Ferdinand

Meet Ferdinand! This sweet boy is about 36 lbs., 6 months old, and will be fully vetted, neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated at the time of adoption. Ferdinand came to the shelter with a condition known as cherry eye, which refers to a prolapse of the third eyelid gland. This gland is crucial for producing tears, and its displacement can lead to redness, discharge, and irritation of the eye. Don't worry; Ferdinand will undergo surgery to fix this issue before he finds his forever home. In terms of personality, Ferdinand gets along well with kids, other dogs, and cats. He’s still honing his potty training skills, so he would benefit from a patient adopter. This charming boy is ready for some love and learning. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
