About Fern

Meet Fern, a delightful girl in search of her forever home. At just one year old and weighing just under 40 pounds, Fern is a mixed breed with a lovely golden coat. She came from a heartbreaking situation of neglect alongside her twin sister, Flower, but has flourished in the loving care of our rescue. Though she still needs to gain a bit more weight, Fern is a true sweetheart, full of happiness and love to give. Fern gets along well with other dogs and adores children, making her an excellent family companion. She's been around cats and does fine, although her playfulness leads her to chase them. A home without cats would be ideal, unless you're prepared for an active kitty who can hold their own! Fern is eager to leave her troubled past behind and find a family that will cherish her. If you're looking for a loving and joyful addition to your home, Fern could be your perfect match. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
