Fern has been adopted!
Sponsored by another rescued Mom, Porsche, who hopes that Fern and her babies will get to live their best lives too!
Since you’re reading this, you’re obviously looking for a new best friend—and, hey, so am I! I don’t care how old you are or what you look like, but in case those things matter to you, I’m approximately 18 months old and have silky, soft blond curls and expressive brown eyes. My perfect match would be someone who wants to be with me as much as possible. We could cuddle on the couch. I will lay at your feet while you do what you enjoy. I have spent my life in a basement with no training or socialization but since coming into my loving foster home I am trying to overcome my past. I am fearful of new people and places, but I want to trust. In my foster home I know I am safe, and I can show my true personality. I am playful, energetic, funny and so loving. I enjoy going out for walks and I am trying to focus on the commands of my foster mom instead of worrying about all the things out there that may hurt me. It is all new to me and I am very curious to learn about this new, magnificent world.
When I’m not admiring your every move, I love to be play with other dogs. It would be great if you had another well-balanced dog in the house for me to be friends with and I can follow their lead when I get nervous. There are big and small dogs and even a cat in my foster home. I love them all! We like to chew on stuffy toys and pull the squeakers out of them or run back and forth along the fence line and bark at the people walking by. When it comes to bed at night though, I want to sleep with my foster mom. I don’t like being put in a crate or locked in a room where I can’t get to her, even though the other dogs try to calm me down. This is understood now, and I get to sleep with her every night. I am a very good sleeper. I don’t move around much, and I don’t take up a lot of room.
You should know that I don’t like riding in the car. It stresses me right out. I won’t jump around or cause trouble, but I will sit in the seat and shake very badly. I just don’t like that feeling. I also like to bark when I play and when I am outside and see people or other dogs so I am not a good fit for an apartment. My foster mom is trying to help me get housetrained. Since I have been in a pen for so long, I just did my business where I was standing but she wants me to go outside. I like going outside when she takes me, and I go pee every time and then she pats my head and tells me I am the best girl ever. I really like this. I just know that I am going to be housetrained very soon so that my foster mom can smile like that at me all the time.
I may have had a rough start but now that I know love I am ready to share it with my new family. I will be your happy, loyal companion. Will you be my bestie?
