At just a year old, Flint has already experienced more change than any young dog should. When his owners separated, neither chose to keep him, and suddenly the only life he'd ever known disappeared. It's left Flint feeling unsure of the world and cautious about the people in it. As a Cattle Dog/Border Collie mix, Flint is a smart, sensitive boy who takes time to process new situations. Right now, he's learning that not every change has to be scary. In foster care, he's slowly beginning to trust his foster mom and show glimpses of the loyal companion hiding beneath his nervous exterior. Other dogs have been a huge help in Flint's journey. He finds comfort in canine companionship, especially when patient dogs give him the space he needs to approach on his own terms. Every day, he's gaining a little more confidence and learning that he's safe. Flint is making wonderful progress, but he still has a road ahead of him. He'll need an adopter who understands that trust isn't built overnight and is willing to let him move at his own pace. The reward will be watching a young dog discover that he is finally home and never has to wonder where he belongs again. If you're the kind of person who believes the best relationships are worth earning, Flint just might be your perfect match.
