My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Fiona's foster family says........Good with dogs
Cats: unknown
Children: unknown

Little Fiona is approx 8-10 years old and is possibly a King Charles Spaniel, Shih Tzu, long haired chihuahua or some other small breed mix. A DNA test would be needed to determine her breed, but whatever she is, she is simply adorable.

Fiona was found as a stray and turned into a local city Shelter. The Shelter reached out to rescues as Fiona was very thin and diagnosed with canine diabetes.

At first Fiona was quiet, but as she gained weight and her diabetes became better regulated she has turned out to be quite an engaging, loving little dog. She loves to give kisses and be held in your lap (especially when you are eating... but no junk food for this little girl allowed).

She is housetrained and knows how to use a dog door. She is also good with large and small dogs of all ages. At bedtime, she cuddles in our bed and sleeps easily all night!

Fiona requires insulin twice a day on a fairly regular schedule, so she will need a home where breakfast and supper times are generally the same time every day. We recommend her home continue glucose testing daily just as you would a human. Her insulin cost is about $35/month plus the cost of syringes and diabetic testing supplies.

Fiona needs a specific kibble that is low in carbohydrates. She is on a commercial food that is about $50 for a large back that will last several months. She needs limited snacks - selected vegetables and protein only type snacks.

Fiona also has a non-functioning right eye, her left eye is cloudy, but she seems to see quite well despite the cloudiness/cataract. She may have some hearing issues, but we have not noticed that the eyesight or hearing has been an issue in her foster home.
