Allow us to introduce the humans behind FERN! Our core team consists of Cydney, Darien and Lee (Kimberlee).
Cydney and Darien are life partners who have always shared their compassion and love for animals. During one of their many travels, they visited a sanctuary in Portugal which inspired them to create a similar experience on Vancouver Island. Cydney and Darien are proud parents of rescue dogs Obi and Willow and their adopted cats Frankie and Winnie.
Lee has always been a huge animal lover, As soon as she moved to a home with a yard, she adopted senior dog Kira, an 11 year old Malamute who had spent the majority of her life neglected and lonely. Kira lived her final years being loved, warm and going on adventures with Lee. Lee started getting actively involved with dog rescue after moving from Belgium to Canada in 2017. Lee and her partner Henry are parents to rescue dogs Oreo and Bear. Lee has fostered many dogs over the years and volunteered countless hours matching up dogs with their forever families.
Lee and Cydney met while volunteering together. A friendship grew and common dreams surfaced! The seed of FERN was planted!
We are a Canadian registered non-profit rescue organization located in beautiful British Columbia. Our team and adoption center are located in Port Alberni on Vancouver Island.
When you adopt a dog through us, 100% of the adoption fee goes towards the well being of the dogs in our care. In return for this adoption fee, you adopt a dog who is micro chipped, up to date with vaccinations and vet care. We also cover the spay or neuter surgery for each dog, as per our adoption contract.
Puppies and dogs under 2 years: $750
Dogs aged between 2 and 8 years: $550
Dogs aged 8 years and up: $350
If you're interested in adopting one of our dogs or becoming a foster parent, the first step is to fill out our application. This gives us a general idea of who you are and what you're looking for in a companion. After reviewing your application, we will determine if we currently have a possible match in our care. If so, one of our volunteers will follow up with a phone call to get more clarification about your application and answer any questions you might have for us. Other steps in our application process, include chats with your references and a home safety visit from one of our volunteers. Once this process is completed, a meet and greet with a dog would be set up to see if your family and the dog are a good fit for each other. Prior to a dog moving into an adoptive or foster home, our foster or adoption agreement gets signed by the applicant and our rescue representative.
Fostering means...changing a life. When dogs come into care, they go through a major life change. They are confused, scared and need time to decompress. As a foster parent, you give dogs a safe place to find themselves again, to come out of their shell. The only thing you need to do, is provide a warm, loving, safe place for them until a forever home is found. We provide everything for the dog during the foster period: Food, toys, a crate, vet care,... Our team is happy to answer any questions you might have about becoming a foster family! Just give us a call or send us a message through our Contact Page and we'll be happy to chat!
