Fern
Gender: Female
Age: 7 Years Spayed/Neutered: Yes Breed: Husky, Pitbull Terrier, Sharpei Mix Weight: 60lbs Located in: Grand Rapids Kind of home this pet currently resides in: Quiet home with a fenced in yard. Additional Information: Fern loves to swim, play fetch with a stick, ball or any of her toys and she loves to run free so a fenced in yard is a huge plus. Her favorite game is whining to go outside and whining to come back inside so we keep the door open for her :) Her favorite treat is the plain milk bone dog biscuits. We have used these for training in the past. She catches on really fast and is super smart. Most of the time Fern is not interested in meeting new people, so we usually ask that people ignore her and we do not let strangers pet her. She takes time to warm up to new people, but once she likes you, she loves you and will remember you ALWAYS. Fern has quite a bit of anxiety and she will get pretty worked up if we have to bathe her or give her any type of medicine. She can sense you are talking about her and will hide before you realize she has caught on. Fern has food and toy aggression with other animals, but does not have that with humans.

Missy
Gender: Female
Age: 2 Years Spayed/Neutered: Yes Breed: American Staffordshire Mix Weight: 69lbs Located in: Austin, Texas Kind of home this pet currently resides in: Missy currently lives in a semi-active home with her older foster brother (puggle mix dog, 10 yo). Her ideal home would be semi-active. She could be an only-dog, or would love a young or active adult dog to play with. Missy has very little separation anxiety and is crate trained. Additional Information: Missy is great with other dogs, as long as she has a slow introduction. A baby gate was used with her current foster brother and it worked well. Missy has not lived with a cat but has shown interest when seeing them on walks. Missy loves everyone and does very well with children. She is okay with being touched anywhere. Sometimes she is very excited and wiggly but she does not jump on people.She is spayed, housebroken, great with kids, crate trained, a quiet backseat driver, and loves bones and fetch. She is happiest sleeping with her head in your lap. She always wakes up happy to see you and will do anything you ask of her for a small treat. Missy is also gentle leader and muzzle trained so everyone feels safe at the vet. Her perfect home would include someone who can manage her allergies with occasional meds and baths and can give her slow introductions to other dogs. Missy also is a great work from home coworker, sleeping during the day and up for play or a walk at lunch and after work. However, she would be totally fine at home with a kong if you left for the day.
