My story

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

Meet Your New Best Friend!

Looking for a loyal companion to brighten your days? Meet Fergus, a charming and well-behaved dog who is looking for a new home due to his humans having some serious health issues.

Fergus is an absolute sweetheart who adores people of all ages, including children. He is 5 yrs old and 65 lbs. He’s spent time in a home for a while and has learned the ropes and is now a pro at being the best boy ever!

Fergus is:

• Well-trained: He knows commands like sit, stay, down, place, heel, and more!

• Leash-savvy: Walks with Fergus are a dream—he’s got great manners on a leash.

• Affectionate and loyal: Fergus thrives on love and will be your shadow, always ready to cuddle or play.

Fergus would do best as the only animal in the house. While he’s fantastic with people, he prefers being the star of the show and isn’t a fan of sharing his space with other dogs or cats. Due to his breed, Fergus also has a sensitive stomach and after much trial and error, we have found a very good food for him. It will be necessary for you to continue feeding him veterinarian-prescribed food, Hills Science Diet Gastro Biome dry food

If you’re looking for a faithful friend who’s ready to give you endless love and companionship, Fergus is the perfect match! He’s ready to bring joy, laughter, and lots of tail wags to your life.

With a successful adoption of Fergus, his current humans will be providing the following as part of the adoption:

• Oversized crate with bedding - where Fergus sleeps at night

• Additional comfy bed for anywhere else in your home

• Two cold weather jackets and one raincoat

• Three six-foot nylon leashes

• Fergus’ most favorite toys for your home

• One full bag of Gastro Biohm Dry food

Please apply to adopt Fergus at rescueridge.com and if your application is a possible match a volunteer will get back to you shortly. No inquiry, please, without an application.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Just contact us at rescueridgeshelter@gmail.com, or call us at 732-681-3450, and we will be happy to provide you with an adoption application and, upon review of personal reference checks, vet checks, and possibly home visits, you may be chosen as a permanent home for that special companion. Please note that filling out an application does NOT automatically approve anyone for a specific adoption. We want to assure that the companion and adoptive family are each going to benefit from the adoption, and that it is as permanent an adoption as possible. We ask for help through donations to help cover the costs associated with keeping the companions up-to-date on vaccinations and spay/neuter programs. We request a donation of $100 for cats, and $200 - $400 for dogs, depending on the specific rescue. We are a tax-exempt organization so that any donation you make to Rescue Ridge is tax deductible, and all costs go directly to all of the animals we rescue.

More about this rescue

Rescue Ridge is a 'last-chance' rescue. Staffed 100% through the efforts and donations of volunteers, we find homes for animals that other shelters and people have given up on. Through the kindness of various boarding kennels and foster families, rescued animals are cared for until they find that final family to love them.

Rescue Ridge began by rescuing healthy, beautiful, animals that were slated to be euthanized through no fault of their own. We felt it was unfair, that because their 'humans' had no more use for them, their days were numbered. We have tried to give each and every one of these companions a new lease on life. We rescued dogs, cats, horses and any other animal that we were able to help with our limited resources. And since we have limited space, we are always searching for those willing to help foster these wonderful creatures. We are always happy to provide information on options available to anyone needing to re-home their pet for whatever reason. It is our belief that education regarding pet ownership and its responsibilities is the best hope these companions have. You will have unending rewards when you give a second chance to one of these wonderful friends. They truly are the champions of giving unconditional love.

VOLUNTEER:

Volunteer dog walkers needed to walk our dogs. We also need volunteers to socialize our dogs. Must love dogs. Training will be provided. Our facility is located in Freehold, NJ. If you have a few hours a month to volunteer, please contact us at rescueridgeshelter@gmail.com.

IF YOU'RE HAVING BEHAVIORAL ISSUES WITH YOUR DOG:

We recommend our professional trainer at BullysBehaven.com.

DONATE:

If you are donating though our PayPal please put in the "instructions to the merchant" which program you are donating toward. Any amount, larger or small, is much appreciated.

You can also donate to our Medical Donation programs to help us keep our rescue animals healthy.
