My story

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

Current Location: Alexandria, VA

Fern is a 2 yr old, 60 lb bundle of life with energy and personality to spare. She is a sweet young girl who loves to play, sniff, and explore. She thrives when she is part of the action. Fern prefers being near her people rather than in her crate, and she lights up the moment she gets attention. She greets dogs with enthusiasm and greets people with pure joy.

Fern has great house manner - never an accident, and fully housetrained. And she loves a car ride - sign her up for any outing.

Fern will do best in an active home with another friendly, playful dog and a fenced yard. She loves adventure and enjoys staying busy. Her leash skills are improving, and a gentle leader has helped her make steady progress. Her training grows stronger each day. She knows sit and wait, and she is making great progress with come. She learns quickly and wants to please, which makes her a fun and rewarding partner.

Fern gets curious when she spots squirrels, so her comfort with cats is unknown. She truly shines during spa time. She allows paw wiping, ear cleaning, and even tooth brushing without a fuss. She is happy to play for hours, but she also enjoys curling up in your lap to watch football.

Fern is ready for her forever family. She brings energy, affection, and a loyal heart to the people lucky enough to welcome her home.

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.
