About Fern

Meet Fern! This delightful little Chiweenie is an affectionate Chihuahua mix who thrives on companionship. Fern adores her people, loves her toys, and is all about being part of your family—she’s a playful spirit who enjoys chasing her ball and playing keep-away with her canine pals. While she can be a bit reserved in new situations, she quickly opens up to show her loving side once she feels comfortable. After being surrendered to Worthy Dog Rescue with her friend Marley, Fern adjusted well to her foster home and has become a joyful member of the household. This energetic girl gets along with dogs of all sizes and even shares her space with four cats. She would thrive in a home with a playful canine companion, but she’s also happy as an only dog as long as she has a loving family to spend time with. Fern enjoys running in the yard but also knows how to unwind and cuddle up. She’s intelligent, eager to please, and walks well on a leash, though she may pull when excited. Fern is house-trained and crate-trained, making her a great addition to any home. This little shadow loves to stick close to her foster mom and is affectionate with everyone. With her friendly nature and a loving spirit, Fern is the perfect companion for those looking for a playful yet sweet little dog. If you think you can give Fern the loving home she deserves, don’t hesitate to apply today!
