Here's what the humans have to say about me:
My name is Flo, and as soon as I get a bit of medical TLC and a forever family to love, I will be as sassy as that sitcom waitress from the seventies. My medical issues probably result from the weeks I spent lost and roaming Florence, Alabama before a kind stranger turned me into the shelter where they immediately assured me that Adopt-a-Golden Birmingham would find the great home that I deserve. At 55.8 pounds I need to put on a little weight (don’t most of you wish that you had this problem!), and I’m taking antibiotics for infected ears and some skin problems that are probably just easily managed allergies. Can’t remember my exact birth date, but my guess is that I’m about 9-10 years old, and we’ll just celebrate the anniversary of the day you adopt me as my birthday from now on since I’ll be starting a brand new great life. The shelter staff gave me high marks for a sweet, positive attitude and think that I have some basic training. I got seriously high marks on my behavior assessment! I am playful, outgoing and people centered. I am great at sharing, and I would be so easy to train! I willbe happiest in a calm but active environment and probably good with kids, but very small ones only if parents are pretty canine experienced because I do have quite a bit of energy. I love to be petted and roll on my back to solicit belly rubs. My ideal owner will want to snuggle with me on the sofa or bed because I do like to recline on furniture. I am heartworm negative and spayed. What I need most is a second chance in life. In return I promise licks and wags and a big old Golden heart filled with gratitude to the forever family that I just know is out there waiting to welcome me. Let’s make that happen soon!
