Description

The Fairy Sisters - Fern, Merriweather, and Tink - were part of a surprise litter. Although most of their littermates found loving homes, these lovely little ladies were not as lucky. Recognizing that puppies are adorable, but a lot of work, their family decided to surrender them to a shelter. However, this proved to be a dangerous option for these babies. With shelters significantly overcapacity, owner surrenders are often immediately euthanized. In an attempt to save the lives of all three pups, the shelter contacted MAGSR to redirect the Fairy Sisters into our care. Fortunately, our team was able to find incredible foster homes for all three girls. We promised we would find the Fairy Sisters families that would love and cherish them for a lifetime. 
 
Having moved into loving foster families, all three girls are learning the ins and outs of living in a household. Although their sisters were clearly well socialized with new people and in new situations, Fern seems to be lacking confidence with new people, animals, and environments. Continued opportunities to socialize with new people and new situations will be critical to Fern's success as she develops into a confident and stable adult. Unsure about new things, Fern's foster is patiently working with her to learn the joys of playtime with people, animals and toys. Fern is learning but will need continued opportunities to meet with success. As the Fairy sisters continue to move forward, they will benefit from continued work and patience with basic commands and leash manners. With so many new expectations, each of the Fairy Sisters will need time to learn the rules, expectations, and routines of their new homes. 
 
Although these girls are beyond lovely, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, and patience, Fern and her sisters will develop into good canine citizens. If you are looking for a new family member that will fill your home with little paws, ask to meet Fern today! 

Updates

Fern is a true sweetheart-- eager to please and motivated by praise and affection making her a quick study! Fern loves to play with other dogs after proper introductions, and would fit easily into most pack structures. She is also enjoying snuggly cats. Typical of a young GSD, she won't say no to a game of "chase the cat" but is also very easy to curb. Fern walks better on a leash than most adult, trained dogs we've met and takes a lot of confidence and direction from her handler. She is very sensitive and needs a patient, positive hand to show her what you want, and boundaries to help her understand what's expected of her. Believe me, she will try her heart out for you! While she still has plenty of energy, she loves nothing better than a good snuggle on the couch at the end of the day. Would you like to be her forever snuggle partner?
