Meet Fiona.

Fiona is a cute terrier at Forever Paws Animal Shelter in Fall River.

"Fiona is a personable, intelligent girl with all the wonderful qualities a terrier has to offer," the shelter said. "While she is high energy, she's not the type to be bouncing off the walls at a moment's notice. It comes out during playtime, where she'll run, jump, and shake her plushies to death."

Once she gets her walk in, she becomes the best cuddle buddy.

She knows several commands: sit, down, stay, come, paw, other paw, roll over, and speak.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg for a smart girl like her, so we encourage any potential adopters to keep her practiced with what she does know and help her learn some new ones," the shelter said.

Fiona is a bit selective with other animals but shows no signs of aggression.

"We'd love for her to be in a home where she'll be mentally and physically stimulated, able to be handled confidently and, most of all, well-loved," the shelter said.
