About Flint

Flint is a big, sweet Weimaraner looking for a loving home. After the loss of his original owner, he was taken in by a family that invested a lot of time in his training, but he ultimately needs more than they could provide. Flint thrives in an active environment where he can be included in outdoor activities like running or hiking. He’s got a smart mind and is eager to learn, having already mastered commands such as sit, down, come, and stay. Flint enjoys playing with other dogs and loves going on walks, showcasing his moderate to high energy level. While Flint has been neutral around cats, he has a history of being nippy with kids who are not in his immediate family. For this reason, an adult-only home is recommended to help him adjust fully. He is house-trained and will come with a sturdy crate that suits him best. Flint is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, ready to find his new family. Ready to fall in love?
