📅 Arrived as a stray on 5/1/2025

Meet Fia (short for Sophia), a 1-year-old Labrador Retriever/Shepherd mix who’s as soulful as she is sweet. With her sleek black coat, soft white patches, and expressive brown eyes, Fia turns heads—but it’s her gentle, affectionate personality that truly wins hearts. She currently weighs between 36–75 lbs, but likely falls on the smaller side of that range, making her a perfect medium-sized companion for any home.


🧡 Fia’s Personality

  • A little shy at first, but warms up quickly with soft words and affection
  • Knows “sit” and “lay down”—smart and eager to please
  • Walks beautifully on leash
  • Loves pets and kisses—affectionate once she trusts you
  • Startled by sudden movements (like a raised hand), but responds well to kindness and reassurance
  • Described by volunteers as adorable, amazing, and adventure-ready!

This young girl has clearly known uncertainty in her short life, but she’s already showing incredible resilience and a deep desire to connect with people. With patience and love, Fia will thrive—and give her whole heart in return.


🏡 Fia’s Ideal Home

  • A loving, patient family or adopter
  • Someone ready for walks, cuddles, and confidence-building adventures
  • A calm environment where she can feel safe and bloom into her full potential
