Fernie

Fernie is currently in a foster home. If you would like to meet her, please start by visiting www.sccrescue.org and completing an application.<br/><br/><br/>Fernie brings a soft, steady kind of beauty to every space she grows in. Around 2.5 years old, completely house trained and wonderfully well-mannered, this sweet girl has truly put down roots in foster care. She settles nicely in her crate after a few minutes and sleeps there peacefully at night, while spending her days happily lounging on a cozy bed or curled up on the couch near her people. Fernie isn’t one to make a fuss — she never barks — preferring instead to quietly brighten the room with her warm amber eyes and gentle presence.<br/><br/>On walks, Fernie blossoms. She does beautifully on leash and loves to stop and “photosynthesize” all the neighborhood smells. She’s the social vine everyone wants to meet — happily greeting strangers and wishing every passerby would stop for a pet. She enjoys being outside and will run around when she’s feeling a little spunky, but her energy is perfectly balanced — playful without being overwhelming.<br/><br/>Fernie shows interest in dogs of all sizes and coexists peacefully, though she’s not a fan of barky dogs or loud cars (who can blame her?). She’s not aggressive in the slightest — just a tender leaf who prefers calm surroundings. She hasn’t spent time with children yet, but she adores toys and will happily entertain herself or share with friends. She’s also not a picky eater — this girl is easygoing in every sense of the word.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will gently unfurl into your life and stay close by your side, Fernie is ready to take root in her forever home.<br/><br/>Interested in adopting this dog? <br/>Visit our website (http://www.SecondCityCanineRescue.org) to fill out an application and to find out where this dog may be shown this weekend. <br/><br/>We love our dogs. We want happy lives for all of them and are looking for the home that provides the best fit for each dog’s individual needs. Please understand that there may be multiple families interested in this dog. <br/><br/>Also, please know that the breed mix listed is simply a guess. In most cases, we don’t know their background. We encourage you to base your decision on individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on our guess. <br/><br/>Please understand, we only adopt our animals out near the Chicagoland area. Questions? Email us at adoptions@sccrescue.org. Hope to see you become part of the SCCR family!
