Betsie
Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (medium coat)

​

Ferguson came to us with a bad case of sarcoptic mange and significant skin infections. We shaved and bathed him right away to help with clearing up his skin infections. With good care, good food, and medication, Ferguson has blossomed into a truly beautiful boy! His pictures show his progression to good health.

Ferguson is a happy boy who gets along well with other dogs. He loves people and loves to play, and has a lot of youthful energy. Given the poor shape he was in when he arrived, it was no surprise to us that Ferguson has some resource guarding issues, particularly with food and treats. For this reason, he needs an experienced adopter who will commit to continuing to work with him as we are doing, to make sure that these issues don't present any more than a minor inconvenience. We feed Ferguson in a separate room from our other dogs, and we ask him to sit before we put the food down. We also ask him to sit before we give him a treat. He has been very cooperative with us, so we believe his resource-guarding can be managed.

If you are interested in giving Ferguson a forever home with all the love and food he needs to feel secure, please complete the application on our website at www.bluebonnetrescue.org.
