About Fiona

Fiona, a lovely Catahoula Leopard Dog and Labrador mix, is just over 12 years old. She returned to our care after a rollercoaster of a life, including a stint at a high-kill shelter. Now, she’s looking for a fourth and final home to enjoy her golden years. Despite her age, Fiona has a playful spirit. She loves walks, cuddling, and playing with other dogs. Weighing around 65 pounds, she’s in great shape and is already potty, leash, and house-trained. Fiona deserves a loving home where she can feel secure and cherished. We're also considering foster options for her until she's adopted or a foster-to-adopt situation. She’s spayed, vaccinated, chipped, and treated for fleas, ticks, and heartworms. What a wonderful companion she could be! Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
