About Flash The Pocket Pup

Flash The Pocket Pup is a heartbreaker looking for a forever home. After spending three months in a foster home, he had to come back to the shelter where his anxiety almost got him euthanized. Luckily, we saved him just in time. Although currently in a boarding facility, Flash is a bright light with a love for play. He thrives in the yard, running around, playing fetch, or enjoying some exploration. This adorable guy measures in at just 36 lbs, making him even smaller than he appears. While he’s as sweet as can be, Flash does need an experienced and patient owner to help him overcome his anxiety. He does best in a home without other dogs or young children. We are open to a Foster-to-adopt situation and will cover all ongoing training for him. It’s our hope to see Flash cuddling on the couch with his family soon. Please think about giving this lovely pup a chance; he truly is fantastic.
