Look how far Fern has come! Fern is a 7 year old Coton de Tulear who came from a puppy mill. Fern had a large tumor removed from her shoulder and received her spay. It is unknown if Fern’s tumor will grow back. Fern is working on housebreaking and is doing well with other dogs in her foster home. She is very sweet but still somewhat shy. Fern will need a quiet home that will give her lots of patience and understanding where she can fully realize that not all humans are bad. She loves the companionship of another dog her size. Are you that someone special she’s looking for? Interested adopters may apply at: https://www.deaconshope.org/adoption-application.html

​Earlier: Miss Fern got a complimentary groom from Bath & Biscuits. Fern is one of the many adult dogs that has come to us from puppy mills. As always, we do not pay for our dogs and never will. Fern will be looking for her quiet forever home soon. Fern is a young, 7 year old, Coton de Tulear surrendered with a large mass on her shoulder that required her to have a huge incision to remove it. Our vet said it could grow back but would be slow growing if it does and, that there is no reason why she couldn’t be adopted. We are always transparent with our dogs health issues and consult closely with our vets. Our vet gave this girl the clear to start looking for an adopter. Fern still needs some more work in the trust department so we will see what her progression is in a couple weeks and start considering applicants. A quiet home, with a small, older and calmer companion and a person or persons with lots of patience and understanding will be given top priority. We recommend no young children just because she is afraid of loud noises and fast movements.
