Fern
Fern is a beautiful Redbone Coonhound (like in the childhood story Where the Red Fern Grows.) When she came to us she was extremely emaciated and appeared to have had a recent litter of puppies, although no one knows what might have happened to them. She’s getting her strength back and putting weight on slowly. Redbones by nature are very good with kids and are typically very even-tempered. They are smart dogs and have keen noses so they can be excellent trackers. If not used for tracking or hunting, their personality also makes them great companion dogs. We will learn more about Fern once she starts feeling a little better and getting some much needed weight on. She has been very sweet and deserves a much better life than what she has known up until now. If you would like to give this lovely girl the home she needs, please fill out an online application.
