This sweet girl is FIONNA, and she's no ogre (that's a Shrek reference) - she is our Thursday Pet of the Week and she is up for adoption at It Takes a Village.

FIONNA is a 1-year-old Australian Shepherd mix, and she is a new mommy! When FIONNA showed up at It Takes a Village, she was very pregnant, and soon gave birth to 11 puppies. Our friends at ITV tell us that half of the puppies are fluffy and a lot of them have short or absent tails.

FIONNA does a great job on the leash and she loves to be loved. This sweet girl DESERVES to be loved and deserves a loving forever home.

All of the animals at ITV are examined by a veterinarian, given age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, spayed or neutered, and FIV/FeLV-tested.

If our pet of the week isn’t the right fit for your home, please visit It Takes a Village to see the other rescues that need to get fostered and adopted. And don't forget about their RENT A DOG Program. A quick fill form and copy of your photo ID will allow you time out with one of ITV's vetted shelter dogs. These day dates are great for the rescues - it gets them some exercise and new information to help us get them adopted. It’s been a big hit- so don’t miss out!

No matter how well they're trained, at some point in time, a pet's primal instincts will kick in which usually ends up with something destroyed.

LOOK: Here are the pets banned in each state

Because the regulation of exotic animals is left to states, some organizations, including The Humane Society of the United States, advocate for federal, standardized legislation that would ban owning large cats, bears, primates, and large poisonous snakes as pets.
