About Fiona

Fiona is a wonderful girl who has seen her share of ups and downs. Now a senior at over 12 years old, she was surrendered to our rescue five years ago due to her previous owner's circumstances. After being adopted out, she unfortunately ended up at a high kill shelter but was scanned and returned to us, thanks to her microchip. This Catahoula Leopard Dog and Labrador Retriever mix weighs around 65 pounds and is in great shape. She's friendly with both people and other dogs, loves her walks, and enjoys cuddling. Fiona is potty trained, leash trained, and house trained, ready to be a loving companion. She deserves to spend her golden years in a stable, loving home where she won’t have to worry about being abandoned again. We're also seeking a foster for her until she finds her forever home or a foster-to-adopt situation. Fiona has been spayed, chipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and treated for fleas, ticks, and heartworms. Let's give this sweet girl the home she deserves. Ready to fall in love?
