The Soft-Spoken Squirrel Watcher with a Country Soul Fleki’s the kind of dog who reminds you that peace and quiet are underrated. He’s a 66 lb, 3 year old Catahoula mix with a heart the size of Texas and just enough goof in him to keep things interesting. He’s gentle, well-mannered, and a little shy at first — the canine equivalent of the guy who needs a minute before dancing at weddings. Once he feels safe, though? The boy lights up like a porch lantern at dusk. He loves running free, chasing squirrels like it’s a full-time job (don’t worry, his success rate is zero), and diving into water with Olympic-level enthusiasm — though he’s more “splash artist” than “retriever.” At home, Fleki’s all about the simple pleasures: quiet naps, soft beds, and hanging out with his little sister Miga, who’s basically his emotional support bestie. The two of them are inseparable — like peanut butter and jelly, but furrier and funnier. City life isn’t really his jam; all the honking and chaos make him uneasy. He’s built for wide-open spaces, crickets at night, and the kind of humans who move slow, talk soft, and understand that trust is earned — not rushed. Give Fleki time and a little grace, and you’ll see what we see: a loyal, affectionate companion with the soul of an old friend. The kind who won’t bring back your stick, but will always bring you peace. Ideal home: A calm, quiet environment with space to stretch his legs, a dog buddy (especially Miga), and people who appreciate a good slow burn — because once Fleki loves you, he’s yours for life. +++++++ ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://petsave.formstack.com/forms/petsave_adoption_application +++++++ Fleki is currently being fostered in Texas and will be transported to the perfect forever home by our rescue! We have transports departing each week! +++++++ The Truth About Rescue: Every rescue pup is a work in progress — and that’s the beauty of it. None of them come wrapped in a bow, ready-made or mistake-free. They come with stories, quirks, and hearts that have seen a lot but still choose to trust again. Adoption isn’t about perfection; it’s about presence. Showing up for them, every day, until they know they’re finally home. That’s when you’ll see them bloom — soft and steady — into the very best version of themselves. And somewhere along the way, you’ll realize they were never the only one being rescued. +++++++ Once we have received your application, we will review and reach out to set-up an interview with one of our volunteers! If you have additional questions, please email us at SaintMuttsRescue@gmail.com. Note: As with all of our rescues, we recommend homes with children 10 years and over to ensure the best fit for both the pets and families involved.
