Fiona's Fragile Fight: Help Fiona Overcome Her Painful Past

At only 1-2 years old, Fiona's already been through so much. When ThisIsHouston first saw videos of her last week, her sad eyes and tail tucked tightly between her legs broke their heart. Despite her fearful and fragile state, they knew they had to help her.

ThisIsHouston offered to take Fiona in, but she went missing before they could reach her. Volunteers searched everywhere, asking anyone they could find, but no one had seen her. Just when they thought they'd never see her again, a kind-hearted Good Samaritan spotted her on Tuesday and reached out to ThisIsHouston. Fiona was finally found and brought safely to the ER for a full assessment.

She’s in rough shape—severely dehydrated, covered in painful skin issues, and her abdomen was painfully swollen. X-rays revealed she has ingested foreign material, including bones, which have been troubling her system. But Fiona is a fighter. She ate well for the ER staff and her stomach should be able to handle the bones without complications, but she's not out of the woods yet.

The medical bills are stacking up as the ER continues to monitor her condition and provide the treatment she needs. Your donation can help cover her ER visits, treatments, and long-term care as she recovers from both the physical and emotional scars of her past.

Update 3/21/25:
Fiona was discharged from the ER and is now in foster care. Her skin is already showing some improvement! On top of that, she is really coming out of her shell and showing her sweet personality. She is enjoying being loved and cared for.

Update 3/28/25:
We are so excited to share that Fiona tested heartworm negative! Heartworms are extremely common in Texas so this is extremely exciting news! Her hair is slowly growing in as well.

Fiona's personality continues to shine. Her fosters say she's such a happy and wiggly girl and never has any complaints. We are so happy that she is doing so well!

Update 4/25/25:
Fiona's fur has nearly all grown back, revealing the soft, beautiful coat she was always meant to have. She's no longer mangey, and she's starting to look — and act — like the vibrant, healthy pup we always knew she could be.

Just recently, Fiona underwent her spay surgery, another big milestone on her road to recovery. She handled it like a champ and is bouncing back with her signature gentle resilience.
