Introducing Fiona!

Mirror mirror, on the wall, whose the fairest of them all? Why, Fiona of course- at least, she seems to think so! Fiona has beautiful silver sable markings and definitely thinks she's the cat's pajamas. She bounds around the like the rest of her puppy compatriots, but something in her bearing just shouts out "I'm gorgeous, and I know it!" Saved with her sisters Beatrix and Dora and her brother Finn 15 minutes before certain death at a North Carolina gassing shelter, Fiona has made her way down to the Lowcountry and is growing fairer by the day. Fiona is no delicate flower; she playfully takes part in puppy wargames such as ambush-the-flip-flop, tug 'o war, and butcher the stuffie carcass. But at the end of the day, Fiona is a lover, not a fighter, and just wants a loving pair of arms to hug her as she deserves.

Fiona and her siblings may (or may not be) German Shepherd/Belgian Tervuren mixes, and as such, her prospective parents should be prepared for her to grow anywhere from 40 to 75 lbs as an adult. Right now, Fiona & Co. are still young enough to require three square meals a day, and potty breaks every three hours at least. They are estimated to be about nine weeks old. At their tender age, they need lots of love, attention, and socialization and as they grow, they will need lots of exercise and mental stimulation to keep them from entertaining themselves with your shoes, furniture, and other precious belongings. But if this sounds like just the kind of long term relationship you've been looking for (think 13-16 years), please contact Mabel's Place at mabelsplace@gmail.com for information about applying for Fiona- but don't wait, these babies won't be available for long! An application and home visit is required and she will be spayed and UTD on vaccines prior to adoption. Fiona is being fostered in Charleston, SC.
