About Flicka

Meet Flicka, a sweet and playful girl who's ready to gallop right into your heart! Found as a stray, she’s currently in a temporary crate due to the shelter's overcapacity. Flicka enjoys exploring her surroundings, making new friends, and soaking up attention. While she may be a little shy in new environments, it doesn’t take long for her to warm up and seek out cuddles. Once comfortable, Flicka transforms into a true social butterfly, especially enjoying games of chase. Flicka would do best in an active home that can keep her busy with walks, playtime, and adventures. She's a bright girl who will thrive on learning new tricks and practicing her manners with encouragement and treats. Interactive toys like food puzzles and games of hide-and-seek will keep her engaged. Flicka has met several dogs at the shelter and enjoys their company, although she can be a bit overwhelmed during on-leash introductions. Slow introductions are key. She’d thrive in a home with children over five, as she warms up quickly with gentle encouragement. Flicka is still learning her manners; she can become excited and jump during greetings, but with patience and love, she will continue to blossom! This lovely girl is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations. Click apply to start the adoption process.
