DOVER - Fergus is a three-year-old hound mix that came to the shelter two months ago after he was abandoned. He's an energetic and playful guy, and is looking for an active companion that is willing to work with him.

He may be high-energy, but Fergus enjoys his downtime, too. Most days you can find him sitting quietly in his kennel, gazing at visitors with his big brown eyes. Once he gets outside, Fergus is ready to get moving! He loves long walks in the fresh air, and only occasionally gets distracted by squirrels. With such an active personality, he would make a great running or hiking partner.

Fergus is an intelligent, friendly dog. He enjoys socializing with people, and has mastered many of his basic commands, but needs to work on his boundaries. Fergus is in need of a home with an experienced owner that will work with him on his excitable behaviors. He must go to a home without any feline friends, and would do best with family members aged 14 and older. Fergus would need to meet any potential canine companions.

Do you have room for a friendly, energetic pup? Come meet Fergus at Cocheco Valley Humane Society at 262 County Farm Road in Dover, NH! For more information on adopting a pet, visit cvhsonline.org.
