About dogs named Fern

The following are 30 profiles of dogs named Fern from our database of 131 dogs with the name Fern.

• “Fern Willow is a 3 shepherd mix goofball that loves big and small dogs and people, including kids“

  — Thea and Jay M.

• “Fern is very much a cattle dog - fast and loud 😊 she’s a super goofy and playful pup once she warms up, especially if treats are involved. She’s not a fan of big dogs at all and will vocally tell them so, she has a couple small dog buddies (under 30lbs) that she loves to yell at, wrestle with and go for strolls with. If your smaller dog doesn’t mind being barked at on occasion, she would love to be friends!“

  — Mandy B.

• “Fern was dumped in a city park as a puppy and carries some fear of new people, dogs and places. She's sweet & loving. Eager to meet other dogs and people she just isn't always sure about it. She loves to run, play with toys.“

  — Katherine M.

• “I am 14lbs of chaos, energy and an abundance of love and snuggles all wrapped up in a cute gangly package. I have little dog syndrome through and through but I know I can act tough with my big sister by my side.“

  — Ty T.

• “Fern is a happy super hyper Aussie that loves to run and jump and play rough but also likes her time to roam and sniff around.“

  — Hannah N.

• “I am from Colorado and used to go to Dogtopia every week. Since I moved I haven’t gotten back into a weekly daycare and I miss playing with friends. I am going to be nine in September and have lived with my humans for 6.5 years. It takes a few minutes for me to warm up and I stay close to my human mom but I also like to play with new dog friends!“

  — Amber C.

• “I luv treats but don’t like other dogs besides my best pal styles. I love to chase bunnies and squirrels. I hate golf carts.“

  — Lexie Jane S.

• “Hi! My name is Fern and they say I am an ACD mix. I am very shy around new people and places and like to stay close to my Mom. But, I will protect with my loud bark to let everyone know to not mess with us. I was raised with two other dogs (Rex and Indie) but now it's just me. New dog friends worry me so I am slow to warm up to them, but when I do, I love playing with them! Mom and I live in an apartment and are looking for a nice place for me to run around and play that is safe and where I won't be scared. I like to play with stuffed toys and love to chase after balls...return them? Not so much. I am able to communicate with buttons to let my mom know what I need, which is mostly attention. Even though I am sassy and have alot of energy my most favorite thing is to snuggle up and snooze with my favorite stuffed toy.“

  — Lauren D.

• “Hi I’m Fern! I’m a very shy girl and have only been with my family for 4 months. The beginning of my life I was in a puppy mill, until these nice ladies at the Humane society came to save me! That’s where my parents found me, and now I have a dog sister and a cat sister that I love sooo much. I had never been outside before my parents adopted me, so I am trying my best to be brave and explore!“

  — Kayla F.

• “Fern was rescued from the Humane Society of Elkhart County. We started out fostering her, but failed after only about 10 days! She is a sweet girl who loves people, but is terrified of other dogs (not her brother!) and becomes aggressive when she sees them.“

  — Maria W.

• “Fernie acts more like a cat than a dog but does enjoy occasionally sniffing around in grass.“

  — Rachel L.

• “Fern is an 11 month old Great Pyrenees/Husky/Cattle dog who I adopted at 16 weeks old from the shelter. She is just a lover, loves all dogs people animals etc. She has an insane amount of energy and loves to play fetch and run. She does bark at other dogs but out of excitement. She is very clumsy and sweet, loves pets and all things.“

  — Mady A.

• “Very sweet boy, loves toys, loves water, loves making new friends. He is intact, so I only allow him off leash around males or altered dogs. He is a sport dog and in training for service work.“

  — Kat M.

• “Fern is the baby. She is an attention Hound and loves to cuddle with anyone!“

  — Jacqueline D.

• “Fern is a very animated, one year old Australian Shepherd. She’s very sweet and pretty sassy but we’re looking for fun places for her to explore. Bonus if the place has livestock or new non-dog animals for her to meet! She likes other dogs but I want her to get to sniff some new creatures.“

  — Abbi N.
