My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Current Location: Alexandria, VA

Fern is a two year old, forty seven pound bundle of life with plenty of energy and personality. She is a super sweet young girl who loves to play and explore, and she thrives when she is part of the action. She prefers to be near her people rather than in her crate, and she lights up whenever someone pays attention to her. She adores every dog she meets and she greets every person with joy.

Fern would do best in an active home with another friendly dog and a fenced yard. She enjoys adventure and she loves to move. Her walking skills are a work in progress, and a gentle leader has made the learning process smoother. Her training gets stronger each day. She knows sit and is working on wait. She learns fast and she is eager to please, which makes her a fun pupil and a rewarding partner.

She can be curious when she sees squirrels, so we do not know how she would do with cats. She shines during spa time. She lets you wipe her paws, clean her ears, and brush her teeth without any fuss. She wants to connect and she wants to be involved.

Fern is ready for the right forever family. She will bring energy, affection, and a loyal heart to the people who welcome her in.

MEET AND GREETS

We primarily rely on meet & greets for potential adopters. Approved adopters may meet adoptable animals at the home of the animal's foster, or possibly in the adopter's own home.

More about this rescue


Operation Paws for Homes, Inc. rescues dogs of all breeds and ages from high-kill shelters reducing the numbers being euthanized daily. We provide foster homes where they can get the love and attention needed before finding their forever homes. Our organization provides pet adoption services in Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, and parts of Southern Pennsylvania. Operation Paws for Homes, a 501(c)(3) organization, is 100% donor funded and could not save these dogs and fulfill their dreams of being united with their forever families, without the dedication of our incredible adopters, fosters, donors and volunteers. Sadly, without our help, all of these adoptable animals would face almost certain euthanasia - usually within days or hours of arriving at the shelter. Each year we take in hundreds of wonderful animals who were left at shelters by no fault of their own.
