🐾 MEET FERN: A Gentle Soul Ready for Her Forever Home 🐾
If you are looking for a loyal companion to keep your feet warm and your heart full, look no further than the beautiful Fern. Fern is a gentle soul who has blossomed beautifully in foster care, watching her confidence and sense of security grow every day.
✨ Her Personality & Quirks
Fern is the perfect mix of a polite lady and a total goofball! She regularly makes her foster family laugh with her sudden bursts of "zoomies," but she is just as content finding a warm sunbeam to lay in and snooze the afternoon away.
Out & About: Fern absolutely loves going for walks and is always up for a ride in the car. When meeting other dogs on her walks, she is polite, friendly, and will often throw in a classic "play bow" to show she's happy and ready for fun!
Impeccable Manners: Fern is fully toilet trained and has already mastered using a doggie door. She is incredibly gentle when accepting treats, has wonderful manners, and will happily sleep all the way through the night.
🏡 The Perfect Home
Fern is looking for a relaxed household where she can be a true part of the family. Her dream home includes:
Company: A human who isn't away for long hours out of the day. She would love nothing more than to relax by your feet while you work or unwind, keeping you company all day long.
Furry Friends: Fern has become quite content being the only fur-child in the home to soak up all your love. However, with controlled introductions, she could also share her human with another dog (preferably a compatible male).
Fencing & Small Animals: As Fern is a sighthound, a home without cats or small pocket pets is a must. She also requires a high, secure fence to keep her safe during her yard explorations.
Fern has so much love to give and is officially ready to find the human she can shadow forever.
Could your home be the perfect match for this gorgeous girl? Open your heart to Fern today!

* Your home must have secure fencing.
* All dogs & cats in the home must be desexed and fully vaccinated.
* Children must be supervised at all times with the new pet.
* Puppy school/obedience training is a must if adopting a dog under 12 months of age.
If you are not willing to meet the criteria above, your application may be rejected.
~ ADOPTION PROCESS ~
1. Please take the time to read the dog's detailed profile thoroughly.
2. An Adoption application MUST be filled out prior to the meet and greet with the animal.
3. If successful, our adoptions co-ordinator will be in touch within 24-48 hours, if you have not received a response in this time, please check your junk folder.
4. The foster carer will then call you within 24-48 hours to set up a meet & greet, this is also the perfect time to ask any detailed information about the dog and if they are going to be a good match for you and your family.
5. The ‘Meet & Greet' - you travel to where the dog is. All potential adopters are given 5 DAYS to meet the dog. If the adopter has not met the dog in this period, then we will assume you are no longer interested. If you have a current dog and the dog you are enquiring about is over 4 months of age they must meet to ensure compatibility. Your pet must be fully vaccinated to be able to meet with our dogs in care. We strongly recommend all members of the family attend.
6. The dog MUST not be taken on the day unless PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS have been made e.g. travelling more than 5 hrs round trip. In this case we need a minimum of 3 days notice. The adoption agreement and payment must be made before collection of the dog.
7. The adopter has 24 hours to email admin@luckypaws.com.au to advise if they wish to proceed with the adoption or not. We rely on our foster carers for feedback on how the meet & greet went so each carer will advise us after the meet & greet.
8. Once you email our Adoptions Co-ordinator, we will then email you the adoption paperwork to finalise, this needs to be completed within 3 days depending if the dog is a puppy or adult. PLEASE CHECK YOUR JUNK FOLDER. The dog can only be officially adopted and taken home once the paperwork and adoption fee has been received, we will notify the foster carer and adopter when the dog is ready to go to their new home. The adopter has 4 days to collect the dog after the payment has been received.
9. A 10-day trial period commences once the animal has been collected from the foster carer. During the trial period, should the dog become ill, you must notify Lucky Paws via email at admin@luckypaws.com.au immediately. If the dog requires a vet visit Lucky Paws will ONLY cover vet treatment which has been authorised by a Lucky Paws admin at our partnered vet clinics. We will NOT reimburse you if you choose to go to your own vet or haven’t got approval.
10. The Adoption is finalised after 14 - 28 days and paperwork is sent via email after this period. Please note this can take up to 4 weeks pending on the microchip paperwork. If you need vaccination certificates for puppy school in the meantime, please email us.
Sorry we can’t take calls, as our rescue is run entirely by volunteers, but we endeavour to respond to your email within 24 - 48 hours. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
