❤️ Personality & Breed Information

Fiona is an absolutely adorable 2-month-old Rat Terrier mix weighing just over 11.2 pounds. She's still a tiny baby with an entire lifetime of growing, learning, exploring, and loving ahead of her.

Fiona is friendly with other dogs and good with children. Her compatibility with cats is currently unknown.

As a Rat Terrier mix, Fiona may grow into a bright, curious, playful, energetic, and affectionate companion. Rat Terriers are often clever little dogs who enjoy being involved with their families. They may be small, but they can have plenty of personality, enthusiasm, and intelligence packed into their little bodies.

Because Fiona is only two months old and a mixed breed, her eventual adult size, appearance, personality, and energy level cannot be predicted with certainty.

Fiona's future family should be prepared to provide her with plenty of:

Love and companionship

Age-appropriate play and exercise

Puppy socialization

Positive-reinforcement training

Mental stimulation and enrichment

Safe chew toys

Consistent routines and boundaries

Patience through puppyhood

Continued veterinary care

A safe indoor home

A lifelong commitment

She's tiny now, but adopting Fiona means making a promise to care for her through puppyhood, adulthood, and eventually her senior years.

Puppy Training, Adjustment & What to Expect

At only two months old, Fiona is truly a baby. Her adopter should expect all the normal parts of raising a young puppy—including potty accidents, chewing, puppy nipping, short attention spans, nighttime adjustment, bursts of energy, and lots of learning.

Rescue puppies generally arrive with basic training at best, so Fiona's family should be prepared to work on:

House training

Crate training as appropriate

Basic commands

Leash introduction

Appropriate chewing

Bite inhibition

Calm greetings

Household boundaries

Safe puppy socialization

Becoming comfortable with handling and grooming

At this young age, positive experiences matter. Gentle handling, appropriate socialization, consistent routines, and reward-based training can help Fiona develop confidence and good habits as she grows.

Please also remember the 3-3-3 Rule:

3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe

3 Weeks to understand her new household routine

3 Months to fully settle in, build trust, and feel at home

Every puppy develops at her own pace. Fiona needs a family willing to patiently teach her rather than expecting her to already understand how to live in a human household.

Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care

Fiona's vaccination, deworming, and other veterinary information was not provided, so her adopter should review her complete medical records with a veterinarian.

At only two months old, she is still in an important stage of puppy veterinary care. Her future family should work closely with their veterinarian to make sure she receives everything she needs on the appropriate schedule.

Her family should be prepared to provide:

Puppy wellness examinations

Age-appropriate vaccinations and boosters

Spaying when age-appropriate

Deworming and parasite prevention as recommended

Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention

Quality puppy nutrition for healthy growth

Routine dental care as she matures

Continued training and socialization

Age-appropriate exercise

Veterinary treatment whenever illness or injury occurs

A safe and loving indoor home

Until Fiona's veterinarian confirms that she has adequate vaccine protection, her adopter s
