Fiona's Story
Come meet me and 100+ of my adoptable friends at Louie's Legacy Animal Rescue's MEGA adoption event, Home for the Holidays! Saturday, December 13th, 2025 at Paradise Island in Staten Island from 11am - 3pm!<br/><br/>Meet Fiona! Fiona is almost 4-year-old, 30-pound "pocket pittie". When she first came into rescue, Fiona was paralyzed in her hind limbs and unable to walk. After multiple neurology visits, a course of steroids, and pain management, she has made an incredible recovery and regained full mobility. Her neurologist suspects the cause was IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease).<br/><br/>While there is potential for a recurrence in the future, Fiona is currently a healthy, active, and completely mobile dog. She enjoys her walks, handles a leash nicely, and is eager to please. Fiona is housebroken with only occasional minor accidents and is crate-trained, though she may bark initially before settling down.<br/><br/>Fiona has a gentle, affectionate temperament and thrives on human attention. She would do best in a home without young children, as she prefers a calm environment. Fiona could live with another submissive dog after proper introductions.<br/><br/>Fiona has overcome tremendous odds and is now ready for her forever home. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion with a true comeback story, Fiona may be the perfect match for you. Her adoption fee is $475 and she is being fostered in Sayreville, NJ. <br/><br/>To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt<br/><br/>All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals. <br/><br/>For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible. <br/><br/>We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.
