Fiona, an 11-year-old, 8-pound female Yorkie / chi mix, is sweet as can be. She has adjusted well to city life after leaving the Hempstead shelter. She may be itty bitty but she knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to tell you. She has the raspiest bark that sounds like it should be coming from a dog 10x her size.
Despite her teeny frame - she loves to eat and hasn’t met a treat she doesn’t like. Her favorite is a crisp apple but cheese is a close second.
She is a diaper girl but loves getting fresh air and exploring the streets of New York. Her leash manners have improved - she only gets tangled in her leash 5x per walk. She was a bit cautious at first but now loves meeting dogs and people.
Fiona is a bit blind and is mostly deaf. With her cloudy beady eyes, she always looks slightly confused - but don’t be mistaken - she seems to know where she’s going and moves with purpose! She’s also quite skinny so appreciates a cozy fleece or sweater.
She psyches herself up to poop with a couple barks…and once successful, she does a happy dance and shouts from the rooftops after she poops. It makes her foster mom laugh every single time.
Fiona had a handful of lumps on her mammary glands and a large tumor removed from her uterus when she was spayed. Thankfully, all were deemed benign! She has a new lease on life and is ready to find her forever home.
Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, lepto, and bordetella. Spayed, Heartworm negative and microchipped. Recent bloodwork done. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
To apply for Fiona, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal. We are currently unable to respond to general email inquiries as an all-volunteer run rescue. If the dog is on our website, they are still available.
Waggytail Rescue CANNOT guarantee the exact age of any adoptable dog, or final size of any of our adoptable puppies. We rely on the information provided to us by veterinarians, shelters, owner surrenders and other circumstances bringing the dog into our rescue.
