About Fernie

Fernie is a delightful adult dog who thrives in a relaxed environment. After spending two months in a foster home, we learned that she’s both quiet and affectionate, often enjoying her time as a couch potato. She loves cuddling up on the couch and is housetrained, making her an excellent companion for those cozy movie nights. Plus, she’s great on car rides and motivated by food, knowing commands like 'sit'. What’s more, Fernie has a wonderful temperament. She’s friendly with people, loves belly rubs, and is often noted for being easygoing. Volunteers have observed her as non-reactive to other dogs and stimuli, which makes her a joy on outings. Fernie is not only smart but also knows how to capture your heart with her sweet demeanor. She enjoys walks and playing with toys, alternating between exploration and snuggle time. Fernie currently shares her kennel with another pup, so introducing her to resident dogs is important to ensure a good match. She may do best in a home without young children. Fernie’s charming personality is just waiting for someone to take her home. Ask to meet her today!
