Fifille the dog is looking for a new lovely home in the Montréal area

Hi, I’m Fifille! I came to the SPCA as a stray – I’m ready for my forever home! I love the comfort of lounging in my bed, but I could also use some enriching activities. I have not been used to being petted or handled, so I will need time to adjust and come to you once I feel ready. If you respect my cues and let me come when I feel comfortable, I could quickly become affectionate. Your patience will be rewarded with my incredible loyalty, gentleness and who knows, cuddle sessions on the couch! As for exercise, I’ll need to make sure I spend my energy in a variety of ways while limiting high-intensity activities until I’m back to a healthy weight – you see, I didn’t eat enough before I came to the SPCA! For example, self-paced walks with lots of opportunities for me to use my nose, as it calms me down a lot. Other ideas for activities to do with me would be to feed me interactively – for example with a slow bowl or in a sniffing mat. Creativity will be your best friend in keeping me busy! I am a quiet dog who is looking for a calm, comfortable environment where I can learn to trust and thrive.

Regarding other animals, shelter observations show that I can be disinterested in other dogs, even choosing to leave. It will be essential that I be introduced gently. I think it’s about time I was in a family that gives me their undivided attention. I am good at walking but I will need to get used to the harness gently with lots of treats. I am looking forward to a comforting routine and continuing my learning.

The SPCA staff and volunteers say I am gentle, kind and calm! Life in a shelter is not ideal for a sensitive dog like me! I deserve a family that will take my health and well-being to heart. One look at me and you will fall in love with me.
