Fergie

Beagle · Male · Adult · 4 years

Beautiful lad Fergie is looking for his forever family. Once he gets to know you Fergie is a very loving, affectionate and gentle boy. He is quite timid and nervous to begin with due to not having vast social experiences but with his family he loves cuddles, attention and of course he loves his food! Outside, he is calm and easy-going on his walks, not pulling on the lead and enjoys sniffing lots. He loves being off the lead in the garden to play but does not have reliable recall, so the use of a long lead is essential to be safe. A large enclosed garden for Fergie would be ideal. Fergie lives with cats at the minute and could be rehomed with them. He is fantastic around children but we feel older children might be best suited with him being on the nervous side. He has never lived with another dog but is dog friendly, he could be rehomed with another dog after a successful meet. Having another dog to follow suit may be exactly what he needs. Fergie is crate trained and is alright being left for periods of time. He is good at travelling in the car and is ready to start a new adventure. If you feel you have time and dedication to help Fergie reach his full potential please contact the office directly on or click on “Request to adopt Fergie now”.

About Fergie

What life with Fergie looks like

Fergie is a medium-sized adult beagle dog waiting at DAWGS.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Fergie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Fergie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. DAWGS handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Fergie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Fergie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — DAWGS will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Fergie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Fergie isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with DAWGS early rather than rehoming privately; they know Fergie and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
