From Marion County Animal Services

Hi, I'm Lyja!I'm a FIDO Project dog- FIDO stands for Florida Inmates & Dog Obedience. I live inside our local men's prison so they can help me learn a few things that might help me find a home. Each FIDO class gets their own theme- ours is called, `The Fanstastic Fur.` I arrived in the shelter in April. Before that, I was at another shelter, and just didn't find my person. The folks in Marion took a chance on me, so I packed my bags and went on a trip. I’m strong on leash but growing each day. I know how to make everyone have a good belly laugh at my zoomies - I tuck my butt in just right and take off. I guess it's important for you to know that young kids make me a bit nervous. The inmates are teaching me so many new words and I really love the attention I get in the prison. I know everyone doesn't want to be here- but I think it's great! If you think you may want to adopt me, please visit marionfl.org/fido and submit a no-obligation adoption application. Someone from my FIDO team will reach out to you soon! Want to find me and my friends on Facebook? Search for #TheFIDOProject. Here is what I'm learning;CrateComeWaitStayDownUpPlaceLeave itDrop itReadyBackTouch

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.

How adopting LYJA works

Marion County Animal Services decides every adoption: its application, its fee, its home check and its timing. Everybarn only shows this animal on the rescue's behalf, takes no payment and passes no messages.
