About Fern
Meet Fern! Some dogs are simply waiting for a family. Fern is eager for her people—the kind she'll gladly follow through every adventure. This 8-month-old Border Collie mix is around 29 pounds now and expected to reach about 40 pounds, making her an ideal size for hiking trails, road trips, and cozy evenings at your feet. Fern was adopted as a tiny puppy along with her identical sister, but their previous family found it difficult to provide the time and exercise the two energetic girls need. Now, Fern is on the lookout for the forever home she truly deserves. She has a sweet, easygoing personality and thrives when included in family activities. Fern is great with kids and enjoys the company of other dogs, though she hasn't encountered any cats yet. She does have a playful side, as she and her sister once chased chickens—perhaps a habit that will fade without her sister’s antics. Similar to many Border Collie mixes, Fern flourishes with both physical and mental stimulation. Daily walks, games in the backyard, and fun dog sports like agility or flyball will keep her happy and engaged. She's not asking for a perfect life—just one filled with love, inclusion, and opportunities to explore. Imagine this loyal companion greeting you with a wagging tail, ready for adventures. If you're seeking a best friend to share life’s moments, Fern might be the perfect match. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
