About Flippy

Flippy is the black Labrador mix that everyone wishes their dog could be: gentle, sweet, and friendly to just about everyone he meets, whether that’s kids, dogs, or even cats. He’s had a rough past, facing real neglect and was dangerously close to being out of time before rescue. But Flippy doesn’t carry any bitterness—it’s like he only knows happiness and affection. He picks up on new tricks fast, walks well on leash, and is already house and crate-trained. His ideal day includes exploring a backyard, going for walks, and hanging out with family (or dog/cat buddies) that like to play and shower him in attention. He’s cheerful and resilient, and he’d fit right in with an active home that values a loving, positive presence. Flippy is microchipped, neutered, and fully vaccinated, so there’s nothing stopping him from moving right in. He’s ready to leave the past behind and soak up every good thing life has to offer.
