About Flora

Flora is a spirited 3-year-old Carolina Dog mix weighing 46 pounds. Currently in a foster home in Mooresville, NC, she has a playful personality that shines during games of chase and wrestling. Flora thrives with dogs of similar size and energy and enjoys engaging with her canine friends, though her introductions should be slow and gradual. She tends to show some reactivity on the leash and can get anxious in new situations, particularly around strangers and children. While she adores an 8-year-old child in her current home, new kids make her a bit nervous. Flora would flourish in a household where her owners are frequently around to help her gain confidence and keep up with her energy levels. Fully housebroken, Flora enjoys outdoor activities including walks, jogging, and playtime. She’s smart and eager to learn new tricks, rewarding her people with affection and companionship. A calm environment with positive reinforcement training will help her overcome any anxieties and allow her to blossom. Flora is looking for a dedicated owner who can continue to help her feel safe and loved. If you think you could be the perfect fit for Flora, don’t hesitate to apply!
