Florence, affectionately nicknamed Flora, Flory, Lory, or Sweetpea, is a playful and energetic 3-year-old Carolina Dog mix, weighing in at 46 pounds. She's a total love bug who enjoys wrestling, being chased, and snuggling. Flora thrives on interaction, especially with other dogs, and loves to lick her canine companions!
Ideal Home
Flora would do best in a home with a well-balanced dog of similar age, size, and energy level, or as the only pet. She adores the 8-year-old child in her foster home but can be nervous around new children. Due to some stranger danger and a tendency to bark at new people, especially those who move quickly, an adult-only household might be ideal at this time. She needs a home that is moderately active with regular outdoor play sessions and someone who is often around and enjoys activities like walks or jogs and playing fetch.
Ongoing Health
Flora is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations. She has shown some anxiety in a crate at home, though she's fine when boarded. She is fed separately from other dogs.
Training & Support
Flora has some leash reactivity and can be easily spooked, often pulling on the leash. Her foster family has been working with her on this using positive reinforcement, and she does much better in calm environments. Consistent training will be important to help her with leash skills and build confidence around new dogs and stimuli. While she needs reminders to take treats gently, she is very smart, loves learning new tricks, and is submissive and affectionate.
