Fern is a Sheltie who was transferred to us through Pound Paws after being found as a stray. Fern arrived at Rosie very frightened and shy. She is a bit better but she will remain timid. Everything seems new to her. We have no information on her background but we seem to believe that she has been bred many times. Fern needs a loving patient family along with a nice calm dog if there is a dog in the family. She also needs a completely secure fenced in yard. She is not a dog who will run to you. She is a really nice dog. She has not shown any aggression at all since she arrived at Rosie. She is not a big barker. We are under the impression that she may have lived with Olaf a golden taken in by Rosie or another golden. She gets excited when she meets goldens. She is currently on Gabapentin for back pain which is not an expensive pain killer. Fern will be spayed and dental done next week. Another urine test will be done at the same time to make sure all is ok. So if you wish to give a shy Sheltie a retirement home please apply for Fern. A gentle experienced family would be the best for her.
