I am Ferdinand! While my name may suggest I am a mighty bull, I am actually a wittle shy mouse. Okay, maybe not little, but I am a gentle soul and may need your help to feel brave! I'm told I'm quite the striking boy and have the shiniest coat, but it's my eyes that will really capture you. I like to stare at you lovingly...a lot. Once I get comfy the wiggles will slowly start to escape my body, though I do my best to contain them. I have recently discovered toys and think unstuffing them might just be the best thing ever. I've been working on learning my basic commands, but I am very eager to please and don't mind being rewarded with pets! I've been friendly with the other dogs I've met in passing but hope to make more friends soon. Please ask to spend time with me today!
