About Fiona

Meet Fiona! Fiona is a delightful 5-month-old Border Collie mix on the hunt for her forever family. She's a curious and happy girl, always eager to explore her surroundings and join in on the fun. Currently, she's making strides in her potty training. She prefers to do her business outside and is well on her way to being fully accident-free. Fiona is treat-motivated, and she's almost mastered sitting. She's also doing well on the leash and is quite relaxed when it comes to wearing her harness. Fiona is confident and inquisitive, loving to investigate everything around her. She's great at redirecting her attention with toys, especially when she becomes curious about a shoe or sock. Fiona enjoys playing with her foster brother, Rusty, but she’s equally content cuddling with her humans. At night, she sleeps peacefully in her crate, making for a wonderful bedtime companion. Fiona is spayed, fully vaccinated, and ready to find a loving family. Could she be the perfect addition to yours?
