Fiona

Meet Fiona. She is an (almost) 4 month old puppy. She is all black with a splash of white on her chest. She is tall with slender legs, smaller body, straight up black ears and a long pointy snout. We don't know what breed she really is, but sometimes she looks like a black Shepherd mix and sometimes she looks like a Malinois. She does have higher energy and she moves fast and sleek almost like a greyhound or a Malinois. She loves to follow you around and is the first to greet and request belly rubs. She can be skittish at first, especially with new people, but she is very loyal and affectionate. She will need a special owner who has the patience to introduce her to the world at a pace she can accept. She would do best in a lower noise level house. The chaos of lots of small kids would not be ideal for her, although she has been very adaptable so far. She was afraid of many things at first, but she loves to walk so much and explore that she overcomes her hesitations. One of her favorite things is ivy. She rolls around in it like a kid in a ball pit. She does well on the leash and has been sleeping through the night in her crate. She does fine with other dogs, at first wary, and sometimes jumpy, but she enjoys the company of other dogs. She has not been exposed to cats, but does not appear to have a prey drive. She does well in the car and is respectful in the house. She tried to nibble my phone one day but I told her no and she didn't try it again. She seems very eager to please and has been very smart about understanding a correction. She is very food motivated also. If you would like to meet Fiona, please contact us. She is being fostered in Scotts Valley and she will come spayed, microchipped and with her shots.
