Personality:
Fern is our little pocket rocket. She loves to play and is highly motivated by rewards, whether that is attention or tasty treats, she responds wonderfully to both. She has not had much exposure to the world or the basics yet, so we are helping her learn new skills, build confidence, and experience life outside the shelter.
Tamariki – Dog savvy kids 10+ as she needs to build confidence.
Cats – Untested.
Kūri – Friendly. Needs further socialisation due to age.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 4.1kgs. Likely to mature medium to large.
Ideal home:
Fern is looking for a home that can focus on building her confidence and prioritise ongoing training and socialisation, such as attending puppy school. She will thrive in a patient, committed home that can guide her through new experiences and help her grow into a happy, well-rounded companion.
Fern may be small, but her love and energy are huge. Come meet your new best friend.
