About Fiona

Fiona is a 5-6 year old female Scottish Terrier, sporting a lovely wheaten coat. She’s been in rescue for a few months and is wrapping up her medical process before adoption. Fiona is currently learning to adjust to a home environment; she’s practicing her leash skills and house training with great success. However, she struggles to get along with other dogs, which her foster mom continues to work on. This clever girl has fully embraced her new world, enjoying her fenced yard, observing squirrels, and making friends with neighbors during her walks. Born from a breeding facility, everything has been a learning experience for her, but she’s a fast learner and has formed a close bond with her foster family. Fiona is being cared for in Rockaway, NJ. To learn more about her, contact Erica Cerny at ecerny@optonline.net or 973-361-6790. Think you can provide a loving home?
