Flora is a 3-year-old, spayed female Carolina Dog mix who weighs 46 pounds. She's a playful and energetic girl who loves to wrestle and be chased, and could play for hours! She's affectionate and a total lovebug, enjoying snuggling and sunbathing. Flora is a smart girl who loves learning new tricks and is very submissive. While she can be a work in progress, she will reward you with love and companionship for years to come!
Ideal Home
Flora would do best in a moderately active home with someone who is often around, enjoys walks or jogs, and will play fetch with her. She would thrive with no other pets or a well-balanced dog of similar age, size, and energy level. She needs an owner who will continue positive reinforcement to help with her anxiety. Flora is nervous around new children and has stranger danger when new people come into the home, so an adult household may be best at this time. She is terrified of storms and will seek shelter when they occur.
Ongoing Health
Flora is a healthy girl who is up-to-date on all vaccinations.
Training & Support
Flora has shown some leash reactivity, exhibiting behaviors like raised hair, whimpering, and barking. She has made progress with positive reinforcement and minimal stimuli, walking much better in calm environments. She will need consistent training to help her with her leash skills and feeling safe around new dogs and stimuli. Flora has demonstrated some anxiety in the crate at home, but has no issues when boarded. She is fed separately from other dogs in the home and needs gentle reminders to take treats.
