Fiona von Fitzen

My story

Fiona von Fitzen is a stunning 4-year-old German Shepherd with a heart as big as her love for adventure! This smart, well-mannered girl is currently in foster care, patiently waiting for a forever home where she can be part of an active, loving family. Fiona is the perfect mix of playful and well-behaved—she adores running, beach walks, hiking, and exploring the great outdoors, but she also knows when it’s time to relax on the couch and enjoy a quiet moment with her people. She’s incredibly social and does great with other dogs, making her an ideal addition to a home with another pup or a family looking for a loyal sidekick. True to her breed, Fiona is intelligent, eager to please, and quick to learn. She already has great manners and thrives in a structured, loving environment. Whether it’s playing fetch, going for long walks, or just lounging by your side (if working from home!) she’s happiest when she’s part of the action. Also fine in the apartment when left alone and not even one accident! Housebroken and not a chewer! If you’re looking for a devoted, affectionate, and active companion who will bring joy, adventure, and endless tail wags into your life, Fiona is the girl for you! Found by Good Samaritan and brought to our rescue. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN Fiona von Fitzen YOU MUST FILL OUT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION ON OUR WEBSITE: www.sheprescue.org Application link: http://www.sheprescue.org/Application_to_Adopt_a_Dog%20Main.html Based on our experience, Westside's current thinking is to usually match first-time shepherd owners with a mix versus a purebred shepherd. Mixes are "softer" and somewhat more malleable. Exceptions can be made, however, for first-time adopters who show the confidence and leadership tendencies that purebreds will respect and respond to. Counselors have to use good judgment in assessing the attributes of the adopter, as well as of the dog. If you have doubts, get a second opinion from Robin or another experienced counselor.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Fiona von Fitzen, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
