From Foxy to Fendi to Fiona!

I saw a cute little German Shepherd mix on Petfinder last month and thought she might be the perfect match for us, so I applied and received a call from her foster mom, Diana. I learned that the pup had been in a kill shelter in Missouri (where she had been called "Foxy") and was brought here by Magnificent Mutts (where she was renamed "Fendi"). This little girl was timid, but most definitely a cuddler, and when the whole family came to meet her at an adoption event, we knew we wanted to take her home!

We wanted to give her a "human" name, as is the tradition in our family, but the poor thing had already gone through two names and we didn't want to confuse her too much, so I said we needed to give her a name that began with "F", since her two previous names had begun with that sound. Thus, she became "Fiona", and, like the heroine of "Shrek", she is a little princess! Fiona has been a wonderful addition to our lives. She is smart and quirky and such a lover! She is learning to play (bringing the ball to us, having a tug-of-war, etc.) and LOVES to chew. She is unbelievably fast and can race with the best of them. (Maybe she's part greyhound?) She sleeps in the bed with us and is always wherever we are. She has had a few incidents of mischief but overall she is a good girl and we love her!
Thanks, Magnificent Mutts, for all you do. Keep up the good work!!
