Meet Fern!
Fern is a young Australian Kelpie with a gentle soul and a spark of energy just waiting to shine. She was found at Irene Rinehart and has been settling in beautifully. This sweet girl is doing great with kids and other dogs and has shown that she really blossoms in the company of kind, patient people.

Fern is shy with new people-especially men-but she tends to warm up much faster around women. Once she feels safe, her true personality comes out: affectionate, playful, and ready to be your loyal sidekick.

As a high-energy working breed, Fern would thrive in a home that can keep her mind and body engaged with regular exercise, outdoor adventures, and fun activities. She's smart and eager to learn once she builds trust.

If you have a calm, welcoming environment and a little time to earn her trust, Fern will reward you with endless love and companionship.
