Ladies and gentlemen, gather around! Meet Flynn, a stunning red merle border collie who is on a journey of healing and discovery! 🌟 This 2 to 5-year-old gentleman may not have had the easiest start in life, but he’s ready to find a family to shower with his heart! Flynn was rescued from a shelter after enduring hardships that would make many dogs quiver in their paws. Positive for heartworms and nursing a hurt paw, Flynn has bounced back with a spirit that’s absolutely inspiring. But oh, darling, this handsome pup is not just about good looks! His incredible prey drive means he can smell critters from a mile away. 🐇 Squirrels and rabbits better watch out because if he catches a whiff, he’s off like a flash! This makes it quite the adventure to keep him contained, so potential adopters should be ready for a little superhero in their lives! 💨 Although he’s independent and a bit of a Houdini, Flynn is slowly learning to trust humans. His foster family reports that his sweet side is emerging, and he's proving to be a friendly companion — especially with children! How delightful! 👶 Flynn will need a dedicated and experienced family—one that understands the beauty and challenges of his strong-willed nature. His sound sensitivity means that common noises can send him into a whirlwind of anxiety, but with a little patience, he has learned that humans can be friends, and oh, how sweet that friendship can be! 🥰 He’s currently on anti-anxiety medication, which might need adjustment, and he’ll thrive best in a peaceful environment without small animals. Given his dynamic personality, it’s also advisable that Flynn finds a single-animal household where he can be the star of the show! ⭐ While he may present a challenge, Flynn also offers a fantastic opportunity for an active family to engage him in dog sports, particularly nosework! How fabulous would that be? 🐾 He’s full of potential, and with love and guidance, he could truly shine! This loving pet is new to the rescue and has a vibrant character just waiting to be revealed. Don’t miss your chance to bring this superhero home — bookmark Flynn in the Buddy App to track his progress and prepare for his full description coming soon! Located in Cedar Grove, NC, Flynn eagerly awaits his future family. If you have the experience and patience — and a whole lot of love — he can be yours! Remember, he must be adopted through the Buddy App, where you can fill out an application and give Flynn the forever home he deserves. Apply away, and let’s help Flynn find his happily ever after! 📲💖
