About Fifi
🐾 Meet Fifi – A Sweet Girl with a Little Bit of Spice! 🌶️🐾
Seven-year-old Fifi is a lovely little lady who enjoys the simple pleasures in life — her daily walks, playing with her favourite soft, fluffy toy and having fun with her other toys. She also loves enrichment activities, especially her snuffle mat, which keeps her clever little mind busy.
Fifi can be a little wary when meeting new people, but she warms up quite quickly once she feels comfortable. She does have some boundaries and would like her new family to respect her personal space while she gets to know them.
We feel Fifi may have had a negative experience with a male in her past, as she is particularly cautious around men. If someone reaches out to her too quickly, she can show her spicy side! 🌶️ Once you learn Fifi’s rules and understand how she likes to be approached, however, everything is much easier.
When out walking, Fifi is comfortable meeting other small dogs, but larger dogs can make her anxious. She can also be a little bossy with her canine friends, so we feel Fifi would be happiest as the only dog in her new home, where she can enjoy being the centre of attention.
Fifi is currently untested with cats, so a cat-free home would be the safest option. We also feel she would be best suited to a home without small children, where her boundaries can be respected and she can settle in at her own pace.
Fifi is looking for someone who will be patient, understanding and willing to let her build trust in her own time. She may need a little time to show you her best side, but once you understand her, there’s a sweet, playful and wonderfully cheeky girl underneath that initial caution.
If you’re looking for a little dog with a big personality, a playful nature and just enough spice to keep life interesting, Fifi could be your girl. ❤️🐾
Medical notes
7 year old Fifi is desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and up to date with flea, tick, intestinal worm and heart worm prevention.
Fifi has had a full check up including bloods and is a healthy dog. Her patellas have some mild luxation, but they looked ok on x-rays so she doesn’t need surgery at this stage. A good joint support supplement will be beneficial as she matures.
She recently had a dental with 6 extractions and a scale and polish. We recommend, as with all small breeds, regular vet checks to monitor dental health and overall wellbeing.
