Ferb (On Trial 25/8/14)

Hi my name is Ferb. I am a 1 year old, male, Maltese dog. I am a very sweet and affectionate boy. I adore children and just love it when my foster mum's grandchildren visit. Whilst I love to run and play with the children I am just as happy to snuggle up on their laps. I am very gentle, the youngest child I have met is 2, and I just seem to understand that I need to be gentle with little kids. I also love to play with my foster sister, a toy poodle. We run and wrestle, and then lay down together to recharge and then start again.

I am an inside dog, I sleep inside in a crate, and wear a dog coat overnight and when the weather is extra cold, I let my foster mum dress me and I do not complain. I am almost house trained, I know if my foster mum takes me outside I need to do a wee and then come back inside, my bed is always dry in the morning.

I have a low shedding coat which needs regular brushing (every few days depending on length), bathing (every few weeks) and clipping (every 4 to 8 weeks) to keep me comfortable and beautiful.

I really enjoy my food and will eat up my foster sister's leftovers. I am putting on weight after being very skinny when DRN found me. I had lots of fleas and was very sad. Now I am the happiest dog ever!

I am waiting for a home where I can be inside with my family when they are home and have access to indoors via a doggie door when my family are out. I must continue to sleep inside. I would love a doggie sibling in my new home, but am also fine to be an only dog. I would love to have children in my new family too.

If you would like to meet me, please ring my foster mum. Love Ferb .
