Fifi's Story

Location: Airdrie, AB // Age: Approx 12 months // Size: Approx 15lbs // Energy Level: High puppy energy // Sex: Spayed female // Dogs: Yes // Cats: Not Tested - likely okay // Kids: Not Tested but older dog savvy kids are likely okay // <br/><br/>🐾Meet Fifi 💕 If you’ve ever wanted a toy-loving, zoomie-powered, underbite-smiling little gremlin who will steal your heart (and maybe your socks)… Fifi is your girl. 🐾At 12 months old, Fifi has blossomed into a happy, playful, affectionate young dog who absolutely lives for toys, dog friends, and outdoor adventures. She is still very much a puppy at heart — running, playing, digging through the toy box one by one, chewing her bones, and then repeating the entire routine again just for fun. Her adorable underbite makes it look like she’s constantly smiling, and honestly… she kind of is. <br/><br/>💕 Her absolute favourite thing in the world? Other dogs. Fifi thrives with canine companions. She gains confidence from them, follows their lead, plays endlessly with them, and cuddles up beside them for naps. A home without another playful dog is not the right fit for her — she truly needs a dog friend to feel safe and fulfilled. 💕 She’s smart, eager, and learning fast. Fifi is fully house trained and rings the bells on the door when she needs outside. She knows sit, come, stay, kennel, outside, bedtime, and more. She is very food-motivated and responds beautifully to positive reinforcement training. She sleeps soundly through the night in her crate (as long as it’s in the room with you) and happily runs to her kennel when you say “bedtime.” <br/><br/>💕 She is affectionate… on her terms. Fifi is still nervous with new people and being picked up or handled. She will come over to sniff you, get excited when you’re around, and once she feels safe, she will happily melt into your lap for belly rubs and cuddles. But trust takes time for her, and her forever family must be patient and allow her to come to them at her own pace. Having other dogs around helps her feel brave — they are her security blanket. <br/><br/>💕 Things she’s still working on: Fifi is fearful on leash and hasn’t ventured past the backyard yet. She will need slow, gentle leash training and a family committed to helping her build confidence with the outside world. Nail trims and handling can be a bit of a process, and like any puppy, she still thinks socks, paper, and the occasional gross outdoor treasure are fair game. She has made huge progress with resource guarding and now only needs management when enjoying very high-value chews like bully sticks. <br/><br/>💕 Her personality in a nutshell: Happy. Goofy. Toy-obsessed. Loyal. Playful. Cuddly. A little quirky. A little sensitive. Very, very lovable. She will make you laugh daily with her toy hoarding, her excited squeaky greetings when you come home, and the way she proudly empties the toy box like it’s her life’s mission. <br/><br/>🐾Fifi’s ideal home: ✔ At least one friendly, playful dog is required. ✔ A patient, calm family committed to positive reinforcement. ✔ A yard to run and play in while she learns leash skills ✔ People who will give her time to build trust and confidence. ✔ Lots of toys. Seriously. So many toys. <br/><br/>🐾Fifi is not the kind of dog who will walk into a new home and be instantly confident — but for the family who gives her time, she will become deeply loyal, incredibly loving, and endlessly entertaining. She just needs someone to believe in her the way her foster home does. 🐾💗 If you’d like to meet sweet, smiley Fifi, please complete an application: https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form
