Megan “Fiona” Wyatt | Female | Mixed Breed |
Rescue Story:
I originally came to Zoe's as a young puppy and was adopted out but unfortunately returned. My family had a new baby and I was having a hard time coping with that and also recovering from surgery. Now I'm looking for a second chance.
Date of Birth: January 9, 2024
Energy Level: High - I am happiest with daily exercise and mental activities
Size (adult): Medium (approx 60lbs)
Adoption Fee: *ADOPTION FEE WAIVED*
Good with Dogs? Yes
I love to play with other dogs but I do play rough so dogs around my size would be best.
Good with Cats? Maybe
I still need to work on my manners around cats (I think they should play with me!) but I might be ok with dog savvy cats.
Good with Kids? Maybe
Older kids would be best as I sometimes forget how big I am.

Hi I'm Fiona, it's very nice to meet you! I love, love, love people...so much that sometimes I can come on a little strong at first but we're working on it and once we get past the intial excitement I really am just a big goofy lovebug. I play hard, love hard and sleep hard. Other dogs? Big fan! But I can be a bit much for smaller friends so I'd do best in a home with another dog who's closer to my size. I just forget I'm not a tiny baby anymore! I'm a smart and active girl who will thrive in a home where I get plenty of physical and mental stimulation so if you're looking for a running buddy I could be your girl. After playtime I'm quite happy to chill out on the couch with you or by myself if you need to go out and do those errand things. I know sit, down, speak, place, leave it, play dead, and a few other commands and have been working hard on my recall. I'm very food motivated so I love learning new things!
About my Behaviour:
I am house trained. I will bark or whine to let you know when I need to go. I can also ring a doggy doorbell to come back in. I am comfortable in my crate but only if you’re gone- if you are in the house, I want to be with you. I can get very excited when new people come to the house and don’t always show my excitement in appropriate ways. I love going for walks and have been working on my leash manners. - I don’t love the leash holding me back and will sometimes try to chew on it. I’ve done multiple training classes and am eager to please but need some help focusing. To ensure we get off on the right paw, my adopters will be required to sign up for force-free training. You can find a list of great trainers at www.albertaforcefreealliance.com.
How’s my Health?
I am spayed, up to date on my vaccinations, dewormed and microchipped. I had TPLO surgery completed on my left leg in January and my right leg in July so I'm currently recovering and am on restricted activity. I had partial CCL tears due to how my back knees grew. Staying calm can be hard with my restricted activity so I am on anxiety meds to help but may not be needed once I’m healed.
This animal is in need of a new foster home. Are you interested in fostering?
