Meet Fern
Meet Fern! Fern is a 3 month old Kelpie mix, searching for his forever home.
Fern is a lively and energetic pup who is always ready for an adventure! With a playful spirit and boundless enthusiasm, Fern is the perfect companion for an active family looking to add a burst of joy and excitement to their lives. This spirited little pup loves to run, jump, and explore, and he is eager to learn new tricks and games.
Fern is at the age where training and routine are critical, so he needs the consistency, patience and love of his new guardian to show him the ways of developing into a mature and fulfilled adult dog. Adopters are encouraged to attend puppy obedience classes, but the basics are a must – leash training, socializing with people and other dogs, and, of course, house training.
Fern won’t be a puppy forever, and as he grows, there are some important things to keep in mind about his breed. Fern is presumed to be a Kelpie mix, however we cannot guarantee this is 100% accurate without a DNA test.
Australian Kelpies need a lot of exercise to be their happiest selves. A good jog or long workout combined with the mental exercise of obedience lessons should be done daily. Kelpies prefer to have a job to do (they will try to herd other dogs, pets, even children), but they also have an ‘off’ switch. They can do a five-mile run, then settle on the couch with the family to watch a movie. Kelpies are not suited to apartment living as they need space for their limitless energy.
So if you’re looking for a fun-loving, rambunctious friend to keep you on your toes, Fern is the perfect match!
