Fiona came to us after being picked up as a stray in rural central Virginia. Our best guess is that she is 5 years old. She is playful and acts even younger than that. When she came to us she was in poor shape. She’d obviously been a puppy mill momma. It’s common for these monsters to dump breeding stock after they have used and abused them as long as possible. The kind people at the shelter contacted us and asked if we could take her. Of course we took her, it’s what we do. First we addressed her health. She had an ear infection, a urinary tract infection several kinds of worms and giardia. These things needed to heal before she could have surgery to spay, repair her hernia, repair the damage to her mammary glands and put things back where they belong.  Her teeth were filthy . They needed cleaning and three had to be pulled. She had an inguinal hernia. Our amazing vet Dr J. Mitchell repaired her hernia and did what amounts to a tummy tuck, only we had to do it, her for her health and well being. We do not do cosmetic procedures on our Boston’s. So all in all Fiona been through a lot.

Now were working on her emotional well being. Fiona had never been loved or treated the way every dog deserves. She had never known kindness. Even with her history of ill treatment she is sweet and loving and is beginning to trust people and enjoy love and give kisses. Fiona has discovered toys and is finding her inner “Terrorist”. She’s learned to play and enjoys toys and treats and living the good life. Fiona still needs patience and love to be all she can be. We’d like her to find that home and love soon. When she’s in her home and not part of a foster home pack she’ll really bloom. She is timid but wants to love and be loved.

If you’ve ever truly wanted to be part of something special and can open your heart and home Fiona will not disappoint.

There is no love like rescue love!

Fiona is almost house trained, micro chipped, spayed and up to date on her shots. She is a healthy girl ready for a home of her own. Fiona does well with other dogs and is fostered with two cats that she ignores.

If you are not ready to adopt but still want to be part of something special please consider a donation to Old Dominion Boston Terrier Rescue. We have two ways to donate: A one time donation through paypal or a monthly donation in amounts between $5.00 and $25.00. Please see our home page for paypal buttons.

If you’d like to donate directly please contact me for our mailing address. (we do use my address, PO Box yearly rental fee’s are enough to neuter a dog so we decided we could do without one) You may also donate directly to our primary vet clinic Greenbrier Animal Care Center, address and contact available on “Our Vet’s” page. If you choose to make your donation directly to our vet please put Boston Rescue ODBTR in the notes space. The only problem with this method is tax receipts. With Paypal donations you have your paypal receipt as a tax deductable receipt and if you send your donation directly to me I will email or snail mail a donation receipt to you at your request.

Fiona’s vet expenses were over $1200 and her adoption fee is $300. 100% of every donation goes to the care of our foster Boston Terriers.
