About Flo
Meet Flo! Flo arrived at the shelter after her owner lost housing and could no longer care for her. Described as friendly and outgoing, she can also be sensitive and become anxious in busy environments. Once she's comfortable, Flo shows her affectionate side and enjoys spending quality time with her humans. Flo seeks a calm, predictable adult-only home where she can settle at her own pace. She thrives with patient adopters who recognize that building confidence takes time. Positive reinforcement and gentle guidance will be essential. A steady routine, along with calming activities like sniffer walks and food puzzles, will help her feel secure. While Flo enjoys familiar dogs, she may feel reactive around new ones. Slow introductions are a must, and she would prefer a home where she can either be the only pet or have a compatible canine friend. Flo is thoughtful and sensitive, best suited to quiet surroundings where she can adjust to new experiences gradually. With the right support and structure, she has great potential to become a steady and loving companion. A volunteer shares that Flo has the demeanor of a wise elder, even at just 3 years old. She engages well during walks, making eye contact and calmly observing her surroundings. Signed up in our Shelter Scholar program, Flo is making excellent progress in skills that help her focus and build confidence. With continued positive reinforcement, she will blossom further. Flo truly deserves a loving home to honor her past and nurture her future. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
