My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This is a courtesy post for the good Samaritan who rescued Ferguson from starvation on a country road (see 3rd photo). Contact Jenner at jbanbury77@yahoo.com.

Ferguson is a male blue pit bull. He is about two years old and currently weighs in at 90 pounds, most of it between his ears. Ferguson loves every human he meets, including children, and is eager to please. He thinks he is a lap dog! He has some basic obedience skills and is very motivated by treats and food. He is not dog aggressive and might even be dog tolerant as he seemed to want to play with my other older pit bull. However due to his size we did not want to push the issue not knowing his background. He is not cat friendly.

He is currently being fostered alone and is working on his manners and obedience. He loves his daily walks but he is energetic and needs more regular training. He really needs an experienced owner willing to provide him the love, care and attention he needs and would be a better solo dog.
In early May, Ferguson was found severely emaciated and collapsed in the middle of a country road in the Central Valley. He had no collar and was covered in old wounds. My husband coaxed him into our van with food items and Ferguson quickly got comfortable on the backseat. A veterinarian confirmed that he was severely underweight but that all of his wounds were healing well. Ferguson is now neutered, up-to-date on all vaccines, and his wounds are healed. If you are interested in giving Ferguson a loving forever home, please contact Jenner at jbanbury77@yahoo.com.

We would LOVE to keep this slobbery cuddler but we already have two ten year old pit bulls that would rather not deal with a young vivacious boy. We do not want him going to the shelter or back to his old life!
