Fifi's Story

Location: Airdrie, AB // Age: Approx 9 months // Size: Approx 12lbs // Energy Level: High puppy energy // Sex: Spayed female // Dogs: Yes // Cats: Not Tested // Kids: Not Tested but older dog savvy kids are likely okay // <br/><br/>**Meet Fifi 💕** Fifi is a playful, goofy puppy with a heart full of love and the cutest little underbite you’ve ever seen. When she’s happy, she looks like she’s smiling—and it’s impossible not to smile back. She’s still very much a baby, learning how the world works, and she’s looking for a patient, dog-savvy home that’s ready to help her continue building confidence. <br/><br/>💕Fifi is a high-energy puppy who *lives* to play—especially with other dogs. Having a confident canine friend around her size is a must for her. She takes comfort in following their lead, plays endlessly, snuggles up with them, and gains confidence just by having them nearby. A home with another playful dog will help her thrive. <br/><br/>💕She can be shy and skittish at first, especially with handling, being picked up, or new experiences like leashes and car rides. She’s currently learning that harnesses and walks are nothing to fear and will need continued positive, force-free training at her own pace. Treats, patience, and gentle encouragement are the way to her heart. Once she feels safe, she seeks out affection and truly enjoys being petted. <br/><br/>💕Fifi is crate trained and sees her kennel as her safe space—she happily runs into it at mealtimes and sleeps through the night. House training is still a work in progress, but she’s making great improvements and is learning to go both outside and on pee pads. She’s a smart girl and already picking up on routines just by watching her dog friends. <br/><br/>💕She does show some resource guarding with high-value items, which has improved significantly with management and positive reinforcement. Continued guidance and appropriate introductions with new dogs will be important. <br/><br/>💕One important thing to note: Fifi has an underbite, which gives her extra charm—but it also means her teeth should be monitored at her annual veterinary exams to ensure her dental health stays on track. It doesn’t slow her down one bit, and it certainly adds to her unique personality. <br/><br/>💕Fifi would do best in a calm, patient home with: * At least one friendly, small, playful dog * A positive-reinforcement approach to training * Time and understanding to let her come out of her shell * Mental and physical enrichment to match her puppy energy <br/><br/>💕With love, structure, and the right canine companion, Fifi is going to grow into a joyful, devoted dog. She’s still learning, still gaining confidence, and still figuring out how wonderful life can be—but she’s ready to do it with her forever family. 🐾<br/><br/>💖 If you'd like to chat with our team about meeting Fifi, please complete an application: https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form
