Furgie

My story

Furgie is an adorable 13-week-old, 18-pound Shepherd/Rottweiler mix who’s already faced more than any puppy should. Born into an accidental litter in Bakersfield, she ended up at an overcrowded shelter where she was slated to be euthanized before she even had a chance at life. Thankfully, a kind family in Thousand Oaks gave Furgie a safe place to land. They fought tirelessly to get her story heard and place her into a wonderful home. When online pleas fell short, they turned to us for help. Shelter Hope stepped in, and we're committed to carrying forward that same dedication and passion as we help Furgie find the warm, loving home she deserves. Furgie is a gentle, thoughtful puppy with the cutest bunny ears! She's smart, affectionate, and eager to connect. She is ahead of the game! She already knows how to sit and shake. She also walks nicely on a leash, and is wonderful with other dogs and kids. She loves toys, cuddle time, and exploring her surroundings at her own pace. Despite her uncertain start, Furgie is steady and sweet, with so much love to give. She's ready for her forever home!! ------- Looking to Adopt? Submit a Rescue Questionnaire! Please be thorough in your answers. Be Ready: If your application is selected, our rescue counselor will be in touch for a phone interview. Adoptions can happen quickly so be prepared for our call, only apply for dogs that every family member in the home wants, and wait to apply until you return from your vacation. Please Keep in Mind: Due to high demand, especially for popular dogs, not all applicants will be contacted. Moreover, we may not reach out if we have already approved a family to adopt. The process can take several days. Thank you for your patience!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Furgie, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
