About Flora

Flora is a spirited 3-year-old spayed female Carolina Dog mix weighing 46 pounds, currently fostered in Mooresville, NC. She thrives on playtime, especially with dogs of similar size and energy, and loves engaging in wrestling matches and games of chase. Flora enjoys lengthy play sessions and has become quite attached to the resident dog, often showing her affection by licking his face. While Flora is friendly with her foster family's 8-year-old child, she can be apprehensive around new children and prefers quieter environments. She's a bit shy when meeting strangers and tends to bark when people move quickly in her presence. Slow introductions to other dogs are necessary, and earlier leash reactivity has improved through consistent training; calm environments help her walk better on a leash. Flora is housebroken and handles being unsupervised well at home, despite exhibiting some crate anxiety. She requires regular outdoor play and would do best in a moderately active household. A family that’s home often would be ideal for her, especially someone who enjoys walks or jogs and can continue her positive reinforcement training. Overall, Flora is affectionate and eager to learn, promising diligent owners a rewarding experience filled with love and companionship. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
