About Fiona

Meet Fiona! A spirited three-year-old American Pitbull Terrier currently in Amherst, MA, Fiona is a bundle of affection and playful enthusiasm wrapped in her beautiful tan coat with white accents. Weighing around 45 pounds, she’s medium-sized but possesses a big personality and an even bigger love for her people! Fiona craves companionship, often found curled up by your feet or resting her head contentedly in your lap. Her playful side shines during frisbee games, tug-of-war, or car rides. She thrives on learning and knows commands like sit, down, and come, making her an eager student for anyone willing to continue her training. However, Fiona needs to be the only dog in her new home after past conflicts. Thoughtful management of her interactions with other dogs is essential, as she can miss signals asking for space. She's been around cats without issues, though her compatibility with them remains uncertain. While her strength and energy may be too much for small children, she may fit well in a home with older kids who can handle her exuberance. Thunderstorms and fireworks unsettle her, but she takes medication for environmental allergies and has no other medical concerns. If you're looking for a cuddle companion who thrives in family life, Fiona could be the lively addition you've been searching for. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
