Fiona

Meet Fiona<br/>Fiona is a terrific young dog. We pulled her off the euthanasia list at another shelter and brought her to our no kill rescue. She is such a sweetheart who was dealt a terrible hand. Neglected her whole life, Fiona was then left abandoned on an outside deck and left with another dog to suffer. Fiona is just two years old, but the hard life she’s led makes her look older.<br/>Fiona looks to have some Boston terrier in her. She has an earnest and beseeching face, with expressive ears. She weighs just 43 lbs. She is incredibly sweet, if a little shy at first. Once she gets to know you though, she comes to life and is a happy, gentle lovebug. She likes everyone she meets! She likes other dogs and may enjoy another calm dog in the home to pal around with and provide comfort, as well as show her the ropes. We’ll test her with cats for potential adopters. <br/>Sadly, Fiona’s neglect led to heartworms. She’s been treated and has to take it easy and remain calm for a while to ensure the treatment work. This means she doesn’t get to play in the yard or with other dogs. We’ve been teaching her to walk on a leash. Right now she pulls a bit but we think it’s because she isn’t able to run and work off her energy, and she’s eager and enthusiastic to explore. On the flip side, Fiona loves nothing better than to snuggle in a comfy blanket. It makes her feel safe and secure. She looks forward to time with our staff and volunteers. Fiona is not yet housetrained, but with consistency and gentle guidance, she’d probably learn quickly. Since coming to our shelter, Fiona has been catching up as to what love and attention feel like. She is going to make for a wonderful companion. Fiona could use some TLC to help her heal and learn what a safe and loving home feels like. If you want to give a wonderful young dog a second chance and most likely the first chance at love, get your application in at www.charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org. Please email our shelter (smithgallhumanesociety@windstream.net) or call our shelter at 706-865-4135 and leave a message to make sure we received your application. All adopters must complete an approval process which involves a reference check with current/recent vet and a brief home visit if located in the immediate area. We do permit out-of-state adoptions. Adopters MUST come to the shelter to transport their new family member home. We do not ship, nor do we transport them to their new homes. Adoption policies and application procedures are detailed at the shelter website: http://charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org/ under tab All Adoptable Animals.<br/>Charles Smithgall Humane Society (CSHS) is a No kill shelter. Animals in our care remain safe with us until adopted. Resident animals are either owner relinquished rescued from area Animal Controls or high kill shelters. The facility usually operates at capacity with a list of animals waiting for space to open.
