About Floppy

Meet Floppy! 🐾❤️ Floppy is one of four brothers rescued from a boat, all of whom ended up in a county shelter. Their shyness made them poor candidates for adoption and put them at risk of euthanasia. Thankfully, they’re now safe in a loving foster home where they’re slowly learning trust and confidence. While all four have found comfort in one another, it’s clear that finding individual homes will help each of them truly thrive. Floppy stands out with his adorable, floppy ears and lanky, graceful build, reminiscent of a greyhound. His tan coat and piercing light brown eyes make him especially handsome. A gentle and sweet young adult, Floppy loves other dogs and enjoys playing and wrestling with canine friends. Though he's still nervous around people, he’s made great strides in foster care, learning to trust humans gradually. Floppy enjoys quiet time, often squeezing under furniture for peace. He needs a patient, loving home that gives him space to grow and build confidence. Neutered and ready for a fresh start, Floppy would thrive in a home with friendly dogs to help him learn and explore life. If you believe you can offer him the patience and love he needs, consider giving this handsome boy a chance at his happy ending. Your new best friend is just one click away.
