Fergus was picked up on Milltown Rd on 3/23/16. He appears to be an adult Mountain Curr and hound or shepherd mix. We believe he and Ennis may be brothers or related somehow. He is a very sweet boy, very meek, and we think at some time he has been abused or hit by a car possibly. His jaw appears to have an old injury and may have been broken. It's not just an underbite but his jaw is crooked. We will be monitoring his food intake to make sure he is eating well enough and will make adjustments accordingly as needed for his well being. He loves being petted but will go off to himself for a bit of peace and quiet. He is fully vetted so his adoption fee is $15.
Would love to see him and Ennis adopted together as they appear to be bonded.
