But fear not, because with a safe, loving home, she can recover and shine bright like the star she is! ⭐️ Fern is currently at the shelter, but she dreams of playing fetch in a backyard, getting belly rubs, and snuggling up on a cozy couch. She’s known for her energetic spirit and loving nature, making her the perfect companion for anyone looking for a best friend. 🐶 But time is of the essence! Fern needs YOU to help her turn this chapter around.
