Story: Fern was rescued from a shelter in South Carolina with two of her littermates. We are so happy to have her safe and sound in a foster home in the DC area now. Fern is a happy sweetie who loves people and gets along great with other dogs and puppies. She knows just how to get comfortable up on the couch with her humans, and will love to join you on walks and trots around the neighborhood. Fern is just looking for someone to be her new best furend and we know that she will repay them with endless amounts of love and tail wags. Like all dogs, Fern will need an adopter who is committed to setting her up for success by enrolling in obedience training and exercising her both mentally and physically. She will also need love, patience, and socialization in order to thrive!
What my foster says: Beautiful Fern is doing very well settling into her new foster home. She's currently living with children and another dog. She's a sweet, happy girl who is going to make a great addition for your family. Areas where Fern already thrives: giving kisses, playing with other dogs, sleeping in her crate until someone from the family gets up in the morning. Areas where Fern is still making progress: house training, leash training, sleeping on a dog bed without rolling off and making a gentle thud on the floor.
The fee to adopt Fern is $475. That covers the cost of all her vaccines, the collar she’s wearing, her transport to DC and her care in her foster home. She’s up to date on all age appropriate vaccines.
