FIONA - HUSKY / TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Husky / Terrier / Mixed. Fiona is a 1-year-old Husky/Lab mix with a sweet, sensitive heart. She may be shy at first, but once she decides you’re her person, she’ll be your Velcro shadow—following you from room to room, sitting at your feet and greeting you at the door with a huge smile and a wagging tail. She’s eager to please and already knows commands like sit, down, and off, with impressively good recall for such a young pup. She does okay in her crate for car rides, but does not use it at home otherwise. Fiona does well with other dogs and cats, having previously lived with them. She may need to warm up to them but then she's ready to play! She does not have much experience with kids. She loves walks, playtime, and chewing (durable toys and heavy-duty bones are her favorite, stuffed toys don’t stand a chance!). Because she tends to wander, a securely fenced yard will be required in her future home. Fiona has decided stairs are optional and would much rather launch herself dramatically off the top step into the yard. She “talks” and chatters throughout the day but saves her big voice for important announcements, like reminding you it’s time to go outside. She loves ear rubs, belly rubs, treats (a LOT), and giving enthusiastic kisses. She’s still polishing her leash manners (she has a little Husky pull!), and she can get excited and jumpy when happy — but she responds well to firm, consistent guidance and truly wants to do the right thing. Fiona would make a wonderful companion for an active family that enjoys the outdoors but also appreciates a loyal Velcro dog who just wants to be by your side.
