Flint is a sensitive, medium-sized shepherd mix who’s been through tough times but hasn’t lost his gentle core. He was found unable to stand by the roadside and brought to safety by someone who cared enough not to look away. The shelter environment scares him, and meeting strangers can send him looking for an escape. Given some patience and slow introductions, though, Flint warms up and lets his sweeter side shine—he relaxes, leans in for affection, and makes it clear how much he likes being carried or held close. He’s interested in other dogs and seems happy in the company of calmer companions. Flint would thrive best in a supportive, steady household that can help him regain trust and confidence. He’s up to date on all core vaccines, microchipped, heartworm negative, and neutered. Born March 31, Flint is an Aries—don’t be surprised if you spot just a hint of that brave streak once he’s feeling secure. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
