Shepherd and Great Pyrenees Dogs Available for Adoption in Winnipeg, Manitoba

Fern is one of 11 puppies rescued from a difficult situation on Birdtail Reserve in Manitoba. We took in 5 of the puppies, and they arrived needing a lot of care after likely spending much of their early lives outdoors. Even after such a rough start, Fern has grown into a confident, affectionate little guy.

At 9 weeks old, Fern is the dominant one of the litter -- bold, curious, and always the first to investigate something new. He loves exploring, playing with his siblings, and seeing what kind of adventure he can find next. Along with his confident side, Fern is also incredibly sweet and enjoys attention and affection from people.

Their mom is a Great Pyrenees, and the puppies appear to be Shepherd mixes, so Fern will likely grow into a large, intelligent, loyal companion with an adventurous spirit.

Fern is looking for a forever family that will give him the love, guidance, and safe home every puppy deserves. 🐾
