If you're looking for a gentle, loving companion who wants nothing more than to be close to her people, Fiona may be your perfect match.

Fiona is an incredibly sweet and submissive little girl with a heart full of love. Her favorite place in the world is right in your lap, where she can soak up affection and reward you with the sweetest kisses. She loves car rides and is always happy to be your co-pilotas long as she gets to stay with her favorite humans.

Fiona's past wasn't easy. She was abandoned alongside a male dog and survived living in the woods near a store, relying on scraps and junk food while waiting for someone to notice and help. Despite being let down by people, Fiona has remained loving, trusting, and eager to bond.

One of the most endearing things about Fiona is her gentle nature. When meeting larger dogs on walks, she'll often roll over and let them sniff her, showing just how submissive and non-confrontational she is. She's truly a little doll who just wants to be loved.

Because Fiona thrives on companionship, she would do best with a family that is home often and can give her the attention and closeness she craves. She isn't looking for anything extravagantjust a safe place, a cozy lap, and people who will never leave her behind again.
