About Floki

Who likes big mutts? Floki might just be the heavyweight champ of big, goofy dogs. He’s built like a lion—massive, drooly, and not afraid to let the ground know when he’s charging across the yard. Floki is a five-year-old neutered male with obvious Mastiff traits: heavy jowls, a blue brindle coat, and enough presence to fill just about any room. He’ll fetch and lumber after a ball, but don’t expect high-speed chases—his version of running is more like quick shuffling and hefty stomping. Floki walks nicely on leash with minimal pulling, thanks to his love of snacks and eagerness to please. He’s food-motivated and, yes, proudly drooly. This dog needs a home without young children. He’s selective with other dogs—ok with some after proper introductions, not all. Meetings are by appointment only, so plan ahead if you want to see him. Floki brings a lot in both size and personality and is ready for a new place to call home. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
