Fiona is the sweetest little cuddle bug you'll ever meet! A social butterfly, she loves meeting new people. Always up for going to new places, she happily jumps into the car, ready for any
adventure.

She engages nicely with other calmer and submissive dogs. High-energy dogs overwhelm her, however, so her foster is working on training and socialization; she will likely be fine with most dogs once she builds trust.

Fiona has been around children 8+ and engaged appropriately with them. She is still learning not to jump when excited, so a home without small children is best. At her foster's house she is a medium-energy couch potato who enjoys snuggling and covering you with puppy kisses. A true "Velcro dog Fiona loves being held and petted, prefers to stay in eyesight of you, and likes to lie at your feet. Fortunately, she does not rush the door or gate and obeys when told to back up.

Very food motivated, Fiona is a joy to train. She is house- and crate-trained, has picked up well on basic commands, and is working on leash skills. Fiona takes treats very gently (her absolute favorite is apple slices!). She loves being brushed, tolerates bath time well, and if you give her a lick mat, she will let you trim her nails with no problem.

Fiona is very happy playing with toys and hops around like a joyful bunny! She is incredibly adorable carrying little stuffed animals around in her mouth, chasing her tail, and crossing her paws like a little lady. After a good play session, you'll hear soft snores when she's deep in sleep.

Best of all, when you scratch her butt, she's in heaven and looks at you like you're the best person in the entire world! Who could ask for more?
