Floyd has waited a long time for comfort, and you can feel it in how he melts into any soft surface you offer. He craves affection—petting has become a highlight of his day—and just wants to bond with a person who understands him. After nearly a year moving between shelters and boarding, Floyd’s grateful energy is obvious in every wag and look for reassurance. He’s about four-and-a-half years old, a Plott Hound with classic brindle coloring, and finds joy in walks where he can take in the world through his nose. While he loves outdoor adventures, he’s not one to howl or bark unnecessarily and prefers to lounge peacefully inside on gray days. Visitors don’t ruffle him, and he’s happy greeting guests, but he’s also fine spending quiet time alone if your schedule requires it. Training comes easy—he’s already mastered several commands, thanks to his eagerness to please (and treats). Floyd’s history means a few boundaries: he needs to be the only male dog in the home and isn’t a fit for families with young children. He doesn’t get along with cats or most other dogs and can be overwhelmed by little ones if they’re around full-time. If you want a loyal, calm companion who will always appreciate your company and a good cuddle, Floyd might be your perfect match. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
