Meet Florence. Florence is a beautiful 2-year-old purebred Sheltie looking for a patient, loving home where she can continue to grow and thrive.
Weighing 22 lbs, Florence is naturally a bit reserved, but she learns quickly by observing others. She often follows the lead of more confident dogs, especially when she sees them engaging comfortably with people. With gentle encouragement, her sweet personality begins to shine through.
Florence came to us from the same elderly breeder who could no longer care for her last group due to declining health. Like many of her companions, she remains somewhat unsocialized and nervous, but she has never shown a hint of aggression—not even during vet exams or vaccinations. Her gentle nature is always present, even in moments of uncertainty.
She does wonderfully with other dogs, particularly calm and respectful companions. Having at least one other dog in the home would likely help her continue building confidence—it’s a monkey see, monkey do dynamic that has truly supported her progress here. She’s also picked up on our daily routine quickly, showing she is smart, adaptable, and eager to learn when given patience and kindness.
Aside from needing a routine dental, Florence has been fully cleared as healthy by our vets.
Adoption fee: $300 We’re flexible for the right home. What matters most is finding adopters who value patience, quiet encouragement, and the joy of watching a shy dog blossom at her own pace.
If you’re ready to open your heart to a gentle soul, Florence might be the companion you’ve been waiting for. ____ Every animal adopted from us receives: Spay/neuter surgery Microchip, Updated vaccinations, Blood and fecal testing (with treatment if needed), Flea/tick and heartworm prevention, A free wellness exam within 7 to 10 days of adoption
To adopt, you must: Be at least 21 years old & Live within 1 hour of our facility
Do you have any questions, or would you like to set an appointment to meet him and see if he might be the perfect fit for your home?

More about this shelter
Animal Hope opened its doors as a standalone shelter on February 1, 2015.
Prior to that, Animal Hope operated as a small rescue at Animal Hospital Southwest. As the municipal veterinarian for the city of Fort Worth, Animal Hospital Southwest frequently pulled difficult cases that the city was not equipped to treat and rehabilitate due to budgetary and time constraints.
From this organization was born the Animal Hope shelter, a rescue focusing on rehabilitation and “second chance” adoptions.
