About Fiona

Meet Fiona! Fiona is a spirited three-year-old American Pitbull Terrier currently in Amherst, MA. Her joyful blend of affection, curiosity, and playful enthusiasm shines through her beautiful tan coat with white accents. Weighing about 45 pounds, Fiona is a medium-sized girl with a big personality and an even bigger love for her people. She thrives on close connections with her favorite humans, whether she’s curled up by their feet, resting her head in their lap, or stretching out on the couch. When it’s playtime, she's ready to shine, excelling at catching frisbees and enjoying tug-of-war, chew times, and car rides. Fiona is house-trained and crate-trained, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. She knows basic commands like sit, down, and come, and she’s eager to learn more with the right guidance. An experienced pet parent who values positive reinforcement and clear boundaries would provide the perfect environment for her energy and enthusiasm.
