About Fern

Fern is one of nine lively pups rescued from a desperate situation. These adorable siblings were abandoned in a plastic tote outside of the PAWS gate, and without a moment to spare, a Good Samaritan helped bring them to safety. Since late February, Fern and her siblings have been living at the shelter, a place not suited for young, energetic dogs like her. Surrounded by unfamiliar sounds and hustle, it's no wonder these puppies need a loving home to thrive in. Fern is an eight-month-old mixed breed with a sweet demeanor, and she’s ready to bring joy to your life. She gets along wonderfully with both dogs and children, making her a perfect addition to any family. Consider giving her a chance to grow up in a nurturing environment where she can flourish. Contact PAWS to learn more about making her part of your family.
