My story

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


Meet Flaco!
Personality: Shy Sweet Wigglebug
Likes: Snuggling up close and wiggling when no one’s watching
Looking For: Patient home that loves cuddles and shadows

Flaco is a gentle pit bull mix with a tender heart and a whole lot of love to give. He can be a bit shy at first, but offer him a few treats and suddenly you’ve unlocked Best Friend Mode—the kind where he sticks to your side like you’re the most important person in the world. Once he feels safe, his inner wiggle worm comes out, and it’s impossible not to smile at his sweet little body-wiggles.

He’s a great snuggler, an enthusiastic kisser, and the kind of dog who wants nothing more than to be close to his people. Flaco just needs a bit of patience and understanding to blossom… and once he does, he’ll be your loyal shadow, cuddle buddy, and confidence-boosting companion. Fun Fact: Flaco’s “shy wiggle” is so cute it should be trademarked—it’s half bashful, half joyful, and all heart. Come meet Flaco—your new best friend is just one treat away!
