Fergus - URGENT AND AT RISK

Fergus is a charming 5-year-old Shar-Pei who urgently needs a loving home to recover from an upper respiratory infection. He's been at the Kern County Animal Services shelter since April 29, 2026, and is eager to find his forever family. The shelter environment, with over 300 animals in basic facilities, is high-risk for dogs like Fergus, making his immediate relocation crucial.

Ideal Home

Fergus needs a quiet and safe space where he can rest and recuperate from his illness.

Ongoing Health

Fergus is currently being treated for an upper respiratory infection and requires a patient and caring environment for his recovery.

Training & Support

Application Details:

• Applications to adopt, rescue, or foster Fergus start by contacting us through Wags.
• We will then ensure the shelter contacts you.
• Please note that the dogs are located in Bakersfield, not Thousand Oaks.

Transporation

Fergus is currently located at the Kern County Animal Services shelter in Bakersfield, CA. Companion Animal Protection Services (CAPS) can arrange transportation for adopters on the West Coast, though adopters will be responsible for any associated transport fees. Fosters must reside in Kern County.
