Fern

My story

Meet Fern – A Spirited Hound with a Nose for AdventureFern is a joyful, energetic hound mix with a zest for life and a nose that’s always on the move! She’s happiest when she’s got a job to do, a scent to follow, or a game to play—and she’s looking for a home that will embrace her active nature and curious spirit.While we don’t know much about Fern’s past, what she’s shown us since arriving is crystal clear: she’s smart, eager to learn, and full of potential. She thrives on mental stimulation and is highly motivated when given positive direction, making her a fun and rewarding training partner. With consistency, patience, and enrichment, Fern will shine.Fern is not the social butterfly type when it comes to other animals. She hasn`t shown much interest in canine friendships and shows too much interest in cats to be safely placed in a home with them. Because of her prey drive, she’ll need a secure environment and a family that understands hound behavior and can provide appropriate outlets for her instincts.Scent enrichment, puzzle games, structured walks, and training sessions will be essential parts of her daily routine—not only to keep her body healthy but also to keep that sharp mind satisfied. She’s not just a dog who needs a backyard—she needs engagement, interaction, and purpose.If you`re an active household ready to provide structure, stimulation, and a little room for her houndy quirks, Fern could be your perfect trail buddy and loyal companion. She’s ready to sniff out her forever family—could it be you?
