About Fleki

Fleki is proof that a soft-spoken dog can hold his own in any crowd. At 66 lbs, this young Catahoula mix has a gentle, old-soul presence that fills a room quietly, no need for showiness. Nature is his element—he comes alive chasing squirrels (never catches them), splashing in water, and exploring anywhere with grass instead of pavement. He can be uncertain with new people but finds comfort in patient company and especially with his inseparable dog friend, Miga. City commotion is overwhelming for Fleki—he's wired for starlit porches, unhurried walks, and calm families who see value in a slow-building bond. Fleki is house trained and well-mannered indoors. He thrives with other friendly dogs and does well with children, especially in homes that keep things chill. He isn’t the performative, all-day fetch partner—he’d rather sit by your side and soak up quiet routines. Fleki is currently in foster care in Texas and will travel to his perfect family when the time is right. Give him patience and space, and he’ll give you a calm, loyal friend. Adoption is about patience and presence—get ready for a companion worth the wait. Click apply to start the adoption process.
