About Fern

Fern is a 20-month-old Hound/Shepherd mix with a short, golden-brown coat who was brought in as a stray and has since blossomed in foster care. She weighs about 50 lbs and has adjusted well to home life, showing just how much she enjoys the company of people and her foster dog siblings. Fern is happiest when she’s included in family events and gets plenty of attention—she thrives on togetherness. She’s deeply friendly and affectionate, eager for play, and always up for a game of fetch or some time with her chew toys. Fern gets along with other dogs and needs a playful canine companion in her new home. She respects assertive cats, so she can fit into a home with felines that stand their ground. She is crate, leash, and house-trained—ready for a smooth transition. Her ideal home has a securely fenced yard, and the rescue requires a home visit. Fern is spayed, vaccinated, on heartworm prevention, and microchipped. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
