Cattle Dog and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Savage, Minnesota

Hi, I'm Fern! I'm a 5-year-old girl weighing in at a perfect 49 lbs, and I am so excited to meet you! If you're looking for a medium-sized best friend who is the definition of "chill," I think we're going to get along just fine. I haven't made a peep since I arrived at my foster home--not a single bark!--because I'm much more interested in soaking up the vibes and being wherever my people are.

My typical day is all about the "supervision" life. When my foster mom is out working in the garden, I'm by her side or laying down watching the neighborhood, enjoying the fresh air and keeping her company. I have a very sophisticated hobby, too: I am fascinated by reflected light! If a watch or a phone catches a sunbeam and dances on the wall, I am immediately intrigued. After my outdoor shift is over, I take my job as a professional couch snuggler very seriously. There is nothing I love more than curling up next to you for a long nap.

I'm also a total pro when we leave the house. I am house-trained and a fantastic walker, so our strolls together will be the highlight of the day. When we see other dogs, I'm interested but polite --I'm great at "reading the room" and checking their body language to see if they want to be friends before I say hello. I am currently working on my relationship with the crate; it's a little scary for me right now, but I'm a brave girl and am getting closer to it! I just want a family to love, and I promise to pay you back in endless snuggles and sunbeam-chasing!
Although I do great on leash, I would love a fenced yard to call my own! I just love being outside!

Fern is Heartworm positive and is waiting for a negative test result which can take 2-9 months after treatment. Her treatment has been completed and she will need a Heartworm test every 2 months to follow up on her treatment progress until she has a negative result. During these months, you will need to make sure her heart rate is not elevated due to high energy play or exercise. Fern will also need continued use of monthly Heartworm prevention going forward. These medical needs will be the responsibility of the adopter.

All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spayed/neutered if the dog is over 6 months of age at the time of adoption.

The Cattle Dog is a diligent and robust herding breed known for its agility, intelligence, and hardworking nature. Originating in Australia, Cattle Dogs are highly energetic and require ample exercise and mental stimulation. With their remarkable problem solving skills and unwavering loyalty, they excel in various canine activities and make excellent companions for active owners. Their distinctive blue or red coat, sturdy build, and alert expression reflect their heritage as versatile working dogs.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
