My story

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

Ferdinand is a 9-year-old Heeler/Lab mix with a gentle, loving nature and a strong attachment to his people. He's kind with kids and enjoys being close to family, offering quiet companionship and affection. He's a smart, attentive boy who does best with secure outdoor spaces and supervised time outside.

Ferdinand has been with his brother his entire life and shares a deep, reassuring bond with him. He can become anxious when they're apart, and he truly thrives when they're together as a bonded pair.

This is a very difficult decision for our family. Our son was recently diagnosed with moderate to severe asthma, and despite every effort, we've been advised that rehoming our dogs is necessary for his health and safety. Our only goal is to find a loving, stable home where they can stay together and continue to be cherished.
