Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Newest update: March 2024
Fiona is a sweet sweet girl who prefers life as an "only child". She is learning all kinds of good skills with our friends at Kompletely K9 Dog Training and Rehabilitation and she's ready now to find love once again.
Fiona would love to get all the snuggles and have all the outdoor adventures that a sweet girl like her deserves. She is 7 years old and her DNA test was super crazy – black lab, american staffordshire terrier, greyhound, boston terrier and some other small percentages of mixed breeds. She is only 42 lbs so a perfect medium size. Fiona walks well on a leash with the right tools and will be a wonderful addition to the right family - one who has good leadership and is willing to have just one dog. A neighborhood crowded with dogs or an apartment setting would not be the best spot for Fiona, but if you want an alarm barker for your window station, Fiona is your girl!
Fiona likes her crate and goes there easily with one command. She has some great obedience skills, and
some of her favorite things are running around the fenced yard, curling up on the couch near (or on top of) her person, and showing off her smarts! She has a collection of sweaters because she does not love the rain and cold. Fiona never has accidents inside and will happily accompany you outside. If a new person comes in, she can be wary at first but then will check them out and eventually give kisses. She has never had aggression with humans, but has had limited access to children and we would not place her with young, fast-moving kiddos. She hasn’t met a cat but we think she has enough prey drive that she would not appreciate a feline buddy, or they would not appreciate her ; 0 )
Fiona enjoys going in the car but does better crated in the car. With good management she can tolerate being around other dogs but doesn't always appreciate sharing resources.
Fiona had to come back into the rescue due to her family's changing health circumstances, and we know this sweet princess has so much love to give! If you are thinking of adding a wonderful pup to your life, please contact us about Fiona.
If you have interest in meeting this pretty girl Fiona or any of our cuties, fill out the adoption application.
Please note: we do not have a physical facility where the dogs are housed. They are cared for in our wonderful foster network throughout New England. It is our expectation that, once approved, a potential family will meet the dog(s) in the foster setting where they are feeling safe and loved.
Thank you for considering rescue!
