About Flower

Flower is one of those rare all-around dogs—she won over everyone on a family vacation, handling a long car drive and new environments like a champ. She takes everything in stride, from energetic kids to loud thunderstorms and even raucous fireworks; she sleeps right through the noise. Flower is patient with people of all ages, though she’d rather skip the rain if it means missing her daily walk. She handled a few spa days like a pro after adventures in the mud, and simply loves exploring outside. She’s making good progress on leash training—walks are her favorite ritual, and with a bit more practice, she could easily be a runner’s buddy. Flower enjoys her toys (her favorite is a squeaky duck), but is also happy to lounge, offering the perfect blend of playful and calm. She’s eager to meet new people and greets guests politely with a wag or two, never with a bark or jump. With her gorgeous black coat and gentle manners, Flower is a classic Labrador—smart, affectionate, always up for a game of fetch or a snuggle. She responds well to training, already knows sit and wait, and sleeps soundly in her open crate. She’s fully house-appropriate, doesn’t counter surf, and keeps her chewing to her toys. Though she’s dog reactive on leash, she isn’t aggressive. If you’re looking for a loyal, silly, loving companion who fits naturally into a family routine and enjoys car rides, outdoor fun, and just being by your side, Flower is ready to meet you in Austin, TX. Flower is a true Capricorn—a steadfast, resilient partner always up for an adventure. Your new best friend is just one click away.
