My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet our short and wiggly girl named Flora! Flora is about 6 years old, and she came to our shelter after she was found wandering in the street alone. It appears that she is another dumped mama dog, left out to fend for herself after her owner was done using her for breeding. Flora is a very friendly and affectionate girl! She loves people and loves to get attention! Flora likes to bounce around outside chasing tennis balls. She does usually get the zoomies when she first comes outside, but she calms down quickly and has a mellow personality. Flora would love to cuddle up on the couch with her new family. She is a gentle girl who takes treats nicely. Flora deserves a home to show her what being loved really feels like! After being here for some time, Flora has shown that she isn't the most comfortable around other dogs. We would like to find a home for Flora where she can be your one and only princess pup! She is not a fan of cats. Flora can go to a home with children 8 years old and older who have experience with dogs.
If you are interested in adopting Flora, Please Email us at Adopt@savingpawsct.org for an application!

FLORA'S ADOPTION FEE HAS BEEN SPONSORED BY A KIND DONOR! SHE WILL BE ADOPTED OUT FOR FREE TO AN APPROVED ADOPTER.
