FIONA - SHEPHERD / BORDER COLLIE / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Shepherd / Border Collie / Mixed. YOUR ACTIVE & FUN BEST FRIEND: Approx. 5 years old / Approx. 33 lbs. Hello – I’m Fiona! Mostly Mutts rescued me from animal control, and I am so glad they did. I came in a bit underweight with some hair loss, but good nutrition, medicated baths and great veterinary care have me looking and feeling great and I’m ready to meet my new family! I spent some time in the prison/foster training program off-site and learned a lot! I was adopted for a little over a month, but our energy level wasn’t a good fit. · OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I’ve met some other dogs at Mostly Mutts. I did fine with the male dogs and the females that were around my size or smaller than me, and I also liked playing with a 6-year-old female beagle in my temp. foster home, so – if you have a nice doggie at home, let’s meet and see if we can be pals! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, but my former adoptive family reported that I liked the kids I met while I was with them, though I don’t recall their ages, so let’s meet and best no very young kids that I may bump over and because I’m playfully mouthy. · PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a super sweet and lovable girl with a fun and playful nature. My fun expression and attentive, adorable stance lets you know I am ready for the next adventure! I’m delightful, very active and I was a happy pup for my shelter baths, though I was pretty mouthy at first – thinking it was a game, but I have learned to settle in. I am a playful pup as well as a friendly and focused girl. / My energy level is 8-10 so I will need my furever family to give me plenty of exercise and continue my training. · SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I’m a proud graduate of the Mostly Mutts University training program so I’ve learned the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘down’, ‘come’, ‘drop it’, ‘leave it’ and ‘place’ commands. I also use proper door etiquette and have good leash manners as well as accept nice strangers without jumping. Top of my class! I’m working on my playful mouthiness with my trainer where I’ve made great progress on correcting this behavior. I’m a smart gal who is eager to please and loves learning. I’ll do best with a family who can keep things consistent so I can continue to learn and thrive, so let's continue my training as there are more classes I can take through the free lifetime training that Mostly Mutts offers for their rescue dogs. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. In the prison/foster training program and in a temp. foster home, I would whine in there at first but settle down after a few minutes. / My potty habits were good in the prison/foster training program as well as in a temp. foster home I visited. · LIKES/DISLIKES: I’m always ready for a play session and especially like running and playing with balls. I’ve not quite mastered the fetch game yet, but I will give up the ball easily so the game can continue! I enjoy all the attention and belly rubs that I receive from the nice volunteers. / I can’t think of any dislikes, though like all dogs, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. · MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I have moderate tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future. You may notice that my ears are a little thicker than some dogs which is from previously untreated ear infections, but I’m doing well now. I am looking for a home where I will be a much-loved member of the family for life! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
