Fiona (a.k.a. Princess Fiona)
My name is Fiona and I am a Therapy Dog. As a young rescue dog, I have learned really important skills during my training like “sit,” “stay” and “leave it.” I really love people—kids, adults, everyone—and I can’t wait to help take care of the families that come through our door.
I am planning to be in the office a few days a week because work can be hard and I do get tired. It’s important for me to rest when I need to so I can be the best Therapy Dog possible. Tara McDonnell is my human co-Therapist and we can’t wait to meet you!
