Likes

Fergus is a 3 year old Jack Russell. Fergus is a cheeky wee chap who likes attention from the people he loves. He can be worried by people he doesnt know and does take time to make friends. He is looking for an adult only home and would like to be the only pet in the house.

Type of home needed

Fergus is looking for experienced owners who have had Terriers before. He would like his own garden where he can spend time off his lead playing or relaxing. Fergus does prefer the quiet life and would need a home with few visitors.

More about me

Fergus is full of fun, he is super playful and enjoys going for rural walks. Fergus is house trained, happy being left alone for a couple of hours and travels well in the car. Fergus will need several visits to the centre to build a friendship with him before going to his new home.

How rehoming works

Thank you for your interest in Fergus, who is based at West Calder. Please note this is not a reservation on this dog. To start the rehoming process you will need to go to a rehoming centre for a quick chat. Please find information below about what to expect during the rehoming process. We hope to see you soon.

The average time between visiting a Rehoming Centre and taking your new pet home is just eight days. Every circumstance is different but this brief guide lets you know what you will experience when you decide to rehome a dog from us.

The rehoming centre is your gateway to finding your new pet pooch. When you arrive at the centre you will be greeted in reception by a friendly face.

During this first visit we will take a few details from you so we know what you are looking for. You will be able to visit the dogs and we'll advise you on how to find the right dog for your circumstance and that your circumstances will work for the dog too.

We would like you to get to know your chosen dog before you take him home so, if you have any other dogs or family members, you may need to bring them along for a further visit to ensure the whole family is happy with the decision.

The fee for rehoming a dog is £150 (£140 in Ballymena due to extra dog licence fees),for puppies its £150 adoption fee plus a £45 Dog School fee but every dog is vet checked, microchipped, and neutered as well as a very cool Dogs Trust lead and collar - so we think it's a good deal!

On rehoming your new dog from Dogs Trust you can receive 4 weeks' free insurance from our partner Petplan, this covers your dog for any unexpected illnesses and injuries, for further details and to activate your 4 weeks' free trial visit the Petplan website.

So now you are ready to take your new pal home, just one more step which is a pre-adoption talk. This ensures you are aware of the responsibilities of dog ownership and reminds you that we are always here when you need us!
