Fiona's Info...
| Breed: | American Pit Bull Terrier | Color: | White - With Black | Age: | Puppy |
| Size: | Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg) | Sex: | Female | ID#: | A17931375 - R333 |
Fiona is a 3 month old American Pit Bull Terrier puppy who has a fun-loving and spunky personality. She is playful, but also does outstanding during training and gives 95% of her full-attention to whomever is working with her. She's very eager to please, and because of this, I see a lot of potential in her.
Fiona, in my opinion, has outstanding potential to undergo training to be a therapy dog or something similar. When doing things like teaching hand commands, and getting her to look at me instead of her food/treats/toys/whatever; learning "stay", "down", "sit", and "leave it" (both voice and hand), and things of the like, she caught on within a matter of minutes.
I believe all of the puppies from her litter are very intelligent and trainable, but Fiona has a ton of potential to take it to a much higher level. Just as I think Callie would do great with more physically challenging activities like frisbee, agility courses, and things of the like.
She absolutely adores being carried around like a baby. She is wonderful with other dogs, as well as with young children (toddlers included). She is being fostered with two cats, however, the cats keep their distance. Fiona tries to play with them, but they aren't very interested.
Fiona does great using potty pads indoors (never misses) and going potty outside, too!
Rescue Group Info...
Overview
The Animal Pad is a nonprofit, all-breed dog rescue devoted to saving the lives of dogs facing euthanasia at high kill animal shelters, as well as saving dogs from living in deplorable conditions within Puppy Mills. Our focus is on abused, neglected, injured, and otherwise special needs dogs; in addition to a focus on overpopulated breeds, such as pit bulls, pit-mixes, and chihuahuas. We rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home locally.
We are dedicated to animal advocacy, and educating dog owners on the importance of spaying and neutering their pets. We are a foster based rescue, and rely heavily on the kindness and generosity of the amazing people who make donations toward the rescue and care of the dogs we save.
