About Fia: Not at shelter

Fia is a lively great Pyrenees and Border Collie mix, weighing in at 73 pounds. This adult female is house trained, spayed, and up to date on her vaccinations. She has a unique play style that's part guardian and part herding, which can be a bit quirky! While she enjoyed her time visiting us, her playful methods might confuse less energetic companions. Fia would thrive in a home with a tall fenced backyard for her to zoom around, and ideally, she'd love a playful dog who can keep up with her enthusiasm. Though Fia has been friendly with everyone she meets, she does love to chase smaller creatures, so homes with cats, rabbits, or squirrels might need to manage her instincts. If you think you can provide Fia with the active environment she craves, don’t hesitate to apply and see if you’re the perfect fit for her!
