About Fernie

Fernie is a delightful adult female mixed-breed dog, a blend of Carolina Dog and Basenji. She spent two months in a foster home where her lovely qualities shone through. Known for being quiet and mellow, Fernie enjoys lounging on the couch, soaking in affection. House-trained and great in the car, she’s also food motivated, picking up basic commands like 'sit' with ease. In her short experiences out in the community, Fernie has proven to be a wonderful companion. Both friendly and non-reactive to dogs and other stimuli, she finds joy in walks and toys, and her affectionate nature makes her a favorite among volunteers. Fernie appreciates a balance of independent exploration and loving cuddles. While she has enjoyed socializing with other dogs, it's best for her to meet any resident pets before going home. She may be more comfortable in a home without young children. Fernie truly knows how to wrap her paws around your heart. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
