FERN (MI) - RAT TERRIER (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Rat Terrier (short coat). Hi there! My name is Fern, and I'm a 1.5-year-old, female, 10 lb. bundle of sweetness and playful energy. I was rescued from a hoarding situation, but you'd never guess it from my loving, affectionate personality. I'm still young, so I have a few puppy-like quirks—like occasionally getting into a little mischief—but I'm very smart and eager to learn. In fact, I figured out how to use the doggy door after just two tries! I've also made great progress with house-training and rarely have any accidents. I'm not the biggest fan of being crated, but I'll tolerate it if you sweeten the deal with a peanut butter-filled Kong. I'd much rather be curled up next to my person at night. My foster family says I'm a "lovebug" and a total sweetheart. I want to be involved in whatever you're doing and enjoy following my person from room to room around the house. When I'm not snuggling, I love to play! I enjoy playing with other dogs but I'm still learning about boundaries—sometimes I get so excited I forget to give others a little space. I wouldn't mind a fur sibling, but they need to be tolerant and playful. I do not get along well with uptight, grumpy, or dominant dogs - especially those who feel strongly about their personal space. I also love car rides and going on adventures with my foster family, like camping. My foster family named me Fern because ferns symbolize new beginnings, endurance, and resilience. I've already shown how strong and adaptable I can be. Now, I'm just waiting for that special someone to give me the new beginning I deserve.
