FERN's Story

Meet Fern, a gentle soul working towards her bravest self. <br/>If you’re the kind of person who finds joy in tiny victories, Fern may be the dog who steals your heart. This sweet, sensitive, quirky girl is a bit overwhelmed in this big world. At 4 years old, she's spent most of her life outdoors and is still adjusting to life in a home with a family. She’s shy, fearful, and needs time to understand that new people and new places can be safe. Once she begins to trust, you’ll see her funny personality emerge.<br/> She's still not sure about pets, but she'll be curled up next to you on the couch in no time. Fern is looking for patience and will blossom in a calm home with adopters who understand that building trust is a slow and steady process. A friendly, confident resident dog is a must for her. She takes great comfort in canine companionship and will rely on a stable doggy role model to show her the ropes, help her feel secure, and guide her as she learns how to “dog” in a home.<br/> Her perfect family will offer a quiet, predictable environment<br/>, a well-adjusted dog who can be her mentor<br/>, gentle routines and positive experiences, time and patience<br/><br/>. In return, Fern will continue to grow into her playful sassy self. <br/>If you’re ready to help a frightened heart feel brave, Fern would love to meet you and your trusted canine sidekick.

I might already have an adoption pending!
