As of tonight, Fifi is at home with her new foster family snug as a bug all the while under the very watchful eyes of three Shih Tzu's!

Foster Momma & I took the rest of the afternoon off today to shop for Miss Fifi. A bed, clothes, harness, leash, toys, water/food bowls, etc, etc, etc...the girl got spoiled today!

Will update as I can...but, just wanted to let everyone know she is in good hands tonight!

Thanks Jo Ann

I just sent you a PM to ask if she was doing ok, probably seconds before this posted.

I'm so glad she's doing well and being loved tonight.

Thank you, again. You're wonderful, and so is her new foster mommy.

So nice to hear she is doing good & is safe

Awwww, she is a girl who deserved some good spoiling.

I hope things continue to go her way. She has been through way too much.

Very good to hear Joann!

miabellaamoure · 12-19-2011, 02:20 PM

Just a little update...Fifi is making great strides with her new Foster "Family"...that's right, the entire family has pitched in to commit to making Fifi the best she can be.

Fifi may be Terrier-mix but, that makes her none the less more important than a full-blooded Yorkshire Terrier. What she is mixed with is irrelevant to her Foster Family and they are so excited to see what she will blossom into by the time she is ready for adoption.

Her coat is so dry & brittle from malnutrition and most likely being kept as an outside dog so, that alone will be interesting to see how her coat transforms after good nutrition & routine grooming.

Little Miss Fifi was treated for "tapeworm" which is also a contributing factor for her weighing in at only 8-1/2 lbs...on a frame which appears to be built for at least 15 lbs. Between the tapeworms and her litter of one...whatever nutrition she was consuming was obviously feeding everyone but her.
She is being free-fed at the moment to allow her to put her weight back on...which she is thoroughly enjoying!

Her three new Shih-Tzu step-siblings are in still in awe of her presence

as she has definitely brought a very different mix to the group...Fifi is full of

puppy excitement and wild abandonment while they've past that stage long ago.

So, as soon as I get new pic's of her in all her new found glory...I will share asap!

Yay for Fifi! Wishing her all the best life has to offer!!

Yeah what a great update on Fifi.

I am so happy to hear that Fifi has a great foster home and it sounds like she is going to blossom.
Thanks for updating. Will look forward to her new pics!

TxVicki · 12-30-2011, 06:20 PM

Just checking to see how Fifi is doing? I hope all is going well for her.

miabellaamoure · 01-01-2012, 07:38 AM

Last I heard, she is doing very good and interacting with the 3 Shih

Tzu step-sisters/brother much better. They are no longer sitting on the side lines looking at her and wondering so much why she is in "their" home...lol

In fact, I was told last week that Fifi and one of the step-sisters, "Twinkle" love to play around in the morning rolling all over the floor and "play-nibble" on each other just like typical puppies rough-housing.

miabellaamoure · 02-03-2012, 10:20 PM

Just thought I'd post a link for all to see Fifi is up now on the YTNR site (under SoCal) for adoption. She is now spayed, utd on her shots and ready for a furever home!

Looking for a New Home...
