About Floyd

Floyd is an energetic little guy who loves to play but is also eager to snuggle on the couch. At 4 years old, this 17-pound Chihuahua mix is friendly and has shown he can get along with other dogs. If you have a furry friend at home, a meet and greet is necessary to ensure everyone gets along well. While we haven’t tested him with cats yet, we are planning to do so soon. Floyd would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where he can zoom around safely. Although he went directly to be neutered after arriving in our care, we're excited to get to know him better. He's already house trained and ready for a loving family. If you're interested in Floyd, you can meet him on Saturdays from 10 to 2 at Dogs Forever, located at 809 Rockford Rd SW in Cedar Rapids. Please complete an application beforehand so we can learn a bit about you!
