Meet Fern, the perfect mix of energy and chill. She is part of a litter of 6 puppies surrendered by a family that was not prepared for them. Both parents are purebred Aussies, mom is on the smaller side around 37 pounds and dad was around 52 pounds. These guys come from working lines and will need active families. Fern loves her play time, especially with squeaky toys, but is just as happy afterward to curl up next to you for movies and snacks. She loves snacks as much as any other Aussie and will gladly work for her food. She is incredibly smart, but also a little stubborn. This little girl is Aussie through and through and uses her brain to problem solve. She will make a great dog for someone willing to work with her. She is crate trained and working on house breaking. She is up to date on vaccinations and has been dewormed.

IMPORTANT: This dog has not yet been altered. SNARR requires a $150 deposit in addition to your adoption fee, as well as a strictly enforced Spay/Neuter Contract stating you will have this dog altered within 6 months of adoption. The $150 deposit will be returned once the contract has been fulfilled.
