DESCRIPTION
Meet Ferb!
If you've been dreaming of a gentle giant, Ferb just might be your perfect match. This handsome Saint Bernard is around 5 years old and weighs in at an impressive 102 pounds of pure fluff.
Ferb originally came to us as a stray, so we're still learning about his past and all of his unique personality traits. Since arriving at the shelter, he's been nothing but a sweet, friendly boy who enjoys spending time with people, soaking up attention, and loves a good belly rub.
Ferb was recently adopted but was returned after becoming too protective in the home. While we haven't seen this behavior here at the shelter, it's something his future family should be aware of. He may do best with adopters who understand giant breeds, are willing to give him time to adjust, and can provide the structure and guidance he needs to feel secure.
Despite his large size, Ferb has an even bigger heart and is looking for a family that will see the wonderful dog we know him to be. With patience, consistency, and the right home, this lovable giant has so much love to give.
Because most of our dogs come to us as strays, we cannot guarantee that they are house-trained.
