Meet Fern

Meet Fern! This 3-year old happy houseplant came to us from local animal control after being found as a stray. Fern is truly a go-with-the-flow type of plant! He loves to take walks and have a great play sesh, but also content just hanging out. He is outgoing and a social butterfly but holds his tribe close to his heart.  Fern is low maintenance! He is great in the car and carries around his special stuffed teddy bear without destroying it. He might bark at the vacuum or ironing board….we get it, buddy…we hate chores, too. But really, he spends his day supervising his people and likes to sleep on a nearby couch while his foster dad works from home. Fern is only 57-lb but a long and lanky gentleman who needs to gain a few lbs! He doesn’t realize how big he is and bounces around like an endearing little puppy. And his magical and secret superpower is giving boundless love freely to everyone he meets. No one is a stranger.  Ferns are often associated with symbolism related to growth, new beginnings, and resilience and this describes our Fern perfectly. He is a magical and sincere pup just looking for his future. This adaptable plant definitely thrives indoors with the right amount of love and will certainly bloom in his forever home! Because of lack of history, older or no kids would be best for this sun- and shade-friendly dude. Fern’s top 3 priorities: 1. A loving family where someone is home often – a work-from-home situation would be perfect since Fern loves to be close to his people. 2. A family who is up for adventure with their 4-legged companion – one who enjoys walking and playing. 3. A family who will snuggle up with this sweet man on the couch or in bed and loves the idea of dogs getting comfy on the furniture.

Adoption Process
Adoptions Crops and Flops Rescue, Inc. prides ourselves on spending extra time with our thorough adoption process to make sure our pups and their forever families are set up for a lifetime of happiness. Being a foster-home based rescue means we understand our dogs’ personalities in a home setting and what type of environment would set them up for success. We go the extra mile with our adoption process to understand our adopters’ households to make a match made in heaven. While we understand that looks can be important, we focus our efforts on finding a match based on household, lifestyle, and temperament for the best chance of a happily-ever-after. Our dog adoption specialists are invested in our adopters and are volunteering their time to help make a great forever match. Adoption Process Our adoption process consists of the following: • Complete an Application • Reference Checks: Both veterinary and personal references are required • Phone Interview: Typically lasts 20-30 minutes with one of our knowledgeable dog adoption specialists for us to understand our adopters household • Home Visit: Our home checks are conducted both virtually and in person, include verification of home ownership, and usually take around 30 minutes to complete • Dog Meet: Adopters will be guided to meeting a dog that would be a good match – all resident family members are required to be present • Next Steps: Subsequent steps are determined at initial dog meet, especially when you have a resident dog • Adoption: We ask our adopters to wait 24-hours before scheduling an adoption to make sure all family members are committed – if all agree, we schedule the adoption as soon as volunteer schedules will allow Adoption Donations All Crops and Flops Rescue, Inc. dogs come spayed/neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on rabies and distemper vaccines and monthly preventatives, have received fecal testing and 4DX testing for tick-borne illnesses, and are sent home with an extra 2 month supply of heartworm preventatives.
