Fiona

My story

Meet Fiona – 7 Pounds of Sass, Snuggles, and Pure Heart! Fiona may be tiny, but she has a larger-than-life personality that fills every room she enters. At around 4 years old and weighing just 7 pounds, this Chihuahua has already lived quite the life—but now she’s ready for her next (and best!) chapter: a forever home where she can be adored just as much as she deserves. Once a stray with a patchy coat and an empty belly, Fiona has transformed into a sassy little queen. Fiona is incredibly loving and bonds deeply with her people. She enjoys being close and will gladly cozy up next to you at every opportunity. She hasn’t been tested with kids or cats, but she gets along with other dogs—especially when she gets to be the one calling the shots. In her current foster home, she lives peacefully with a sweet Plott Hound mix and is happy to share space. Fiona has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure, which is being well managed with daily medication. She’s also just starting heartworm treatment, so she’ll need to take it easy with walks and playtime for a while. Because of her heart condition, she’s not able to undergo spay or dental procedures at this time. These decisions will depend on how her heart responds to treatment and whether anesthesia is safe for her later on. The good news? Fiona is part of our "foster-to-adopt" program, and our rescue will cover all of her medical care—including her heartworm treatment. If she finds her forever family before her treatment is complete, she’ll continue to be under our medical wing while she lives with you as a “foster.” Once she finishes treatment and is healthy enough, the adoption can be finalized! Through it all, Fiona remains happy, spirited, and full of love. She doesn’t let her diagnosis define her, and she certainly doesn’t want you to treat her any differently—unless you're offering belly rubs or soft blankets, in which case, she’s all in. Fiona's not just a dog—she's a little warrior in a tutu (figuratively, but also possibly literally if you have one), ready to dance her way into your life and heart. Fiona has a big heart—and it’s full of love, waiting just for you!
