Story
Fiona is a beautiful 1-year-old Husky/Lab mix with a unique cream coat brushed with soft fawn patches and a mix of wiry and smooth fur. At 30 pounds, this medium-sized girl is the perfect blend of playful energy and devoted companionship.Once Fiona gets to know you, she’ll be your little shadow, happily following you from room to room and settling at your feet while you work or relax. She’s eager to please and already knows commands like sit, down, and off, with impressively good recall for such a young pup. She loves walks, playtime, and chewing (durable toys and heavy-duty bones are her favorite, stuffed toys don’t stand a chance!).Because she didn’t always have structure in her previous home and was used to wandering, a securely fenced yard is important for her continued success. The good news? With daily walks and yard time, she has shown she can be trusted and doesn’t try to escape.This sweet girl has some adorable quirks. She has decided stairs are optional and would much rather launch herself dramatically off the top step into the yard. She “talks” and chatters throughout the day but saves her big voice for important announcements, like reminding you it’s time to go outside. She loves ear rubs, belly rubs, treats (a LOT), and giving enthusiastic kisses. Car rides? Yes, please!Fiona has blossomed in foster care. She was shy at first, but with patience and reassurance, she quickly relaxed and showed her affectionate, playful personality. She’s still polishing her leash manners (she has a little Husky pull!), and she can get excited and jumpy when happy — but she responds well to firm, consistent guidance and truly wants to do the right thing.She is affectionate, curious, quick to learn, and ready to love her forever family with her whole heart. Fiona would make a wonderful companion for an active family that enjoys the outdoors but also appreciates a loyal Velcro dog who just wants to be by your side.If you are interested in Fiona, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $450.
