Fern* - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in San Gabriel, California

Hi, I'm Fern. I'm a wild child and never run out of juice. My favorite pastime is wrestling and stealing toys from my sister. I don't particularly like being held and will try to wiggle free. I also do not like being confined to a playpen, and I learned how to climb out. I come when called and know my name. I ask to go out for potty, but I always have to play before I actually go potty. I learned how to use the outside water fountain in my foster home. I am playful, energetic, and love to play with people and dogs.
