About Flicka

Meet Flicka! This sweet, loyal, and intelligent girl has spent 4.5 months in foster care, learning essential commands like sit, down, stay, and more. Flicka is eager to please and thrives on praise, treats, and cuddles. She's happiest being the only pet, as she tends to be reactive toward other dogs and animals, which means she requires continued training in a patient home. Flicka experiences anxiety around new sights and sounds, often leading to some barking. However, she’s made remarkable progress understanding her triggers and is currently on medication to help with her anxiety. Initially cautious, she quickly settles after meeting new people, showing her affectionate nature through neck, chest, and belly rubs, as well as enjoying Kongs and gentle singing. Flicka would benefit from an experienced adopter who is home frequently, someone who can provide a calm environment, predictable routines, and the understanding she deserves. She has a lot of love to give to the right person who will see past her challenges. Is that you?
