About Floki

Meet Floki! This 3.5-year-old, 50-pound neutered male is a handsome blend of Collie and Australian Shepherd, exuding both intelligence and energy. As a herding dog, he thrives in an active, structured environment where he can put his natural instincts to use. Floki is looking for a home where he can be the only dog, as he’s had issues getting along with another male dog in his previous setting. Floki requires a family who understands his needs: active, patient, and ready to engage his mind and body. He loves having room to run in a large, securely fenced yard and benefits from consistent training and enrichment activities to keep his busy brain engaged. While Floki can be friendly with his humans and older, considerate children, he can be cautious with new people, particularly men, and may need time to warm up. His ideal home would be one where he receives plenty of love and attention, and where the family can manage mealtimes, as he has some food guarding tendencies. Floki's journey to becoming a loyal companion starts with trust, predictability, and the right structure. This intelligent boy is ready for a fresh start—a home where he can be the one and only four-legged king of his castle. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
