We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Florence (Flora), 3 years old, spayed female, Carolina Dog mix, 46 pounds. She is in a foster home in HOUSTON, TEXAS and can transport out of State once an adopter is approved. Florence, affectionately nicknamed, Flora, Flory, Lory, or Sweetpea, is a playful and energetic dog who loves to wrestle and be chased. She would do best in a home with dogs of similar size and energy level. When playing, Flora could play for hours. She loves to interact with another dog in the home, Furman by licking his face. Flora has experience playing with dogs ranging from a 35-pound Cocker Spaniel to a 60-pound Pyrenees mix. Flora requires slow and guided introductions to other dogs. She has shown some leash reactivity, exhibiting behaviors like raised hair, whimpering and barking. Her foster parents have worked with her on this behavior. It did take her some time to befriend the resident pup, and Flora may do best as the one and only in the home. Flora’s compatibility with cats is unknown. She adores the 8-year-old child in the home, but is nervous of new children. Flora does have stranger danger when new people come into the home, and tends to bark at them, especially when they move around quickly. Because of her fear, she may prefer an adult household at this time. As mentioned, Flora has some leash reactivity and gets easily spooked, often pulling a lot. However, she has made progress with positive reinforcement and minimal stimuli. She walks much better in calm environments with less activity. She will need consistent training to help her with her leash skills and feeling safe around new dogs and stimuli. Flora is fully housebroken. She has demonstrated some anxiety in the crate at home. When her foster parents have gone out of town she has gone to boarding where she is crated with no issues. At home, she is able to be out of a crate and unsupervised with zero issues. She is fed separately from the other dogs in the home. Otherwise, she shares her toys well and has no issues with people and food, although she needs reminders to take treats gently. Flora has high energy needs and requires dedicated outdoor playtimes to do well inside the home. She thrives in a moderately active home with regular outdoor play sessions. She loves playing with the resident dog, bucking around the yard, eating, going for walks, sunbathing, and birdwatching. She is a total love bug and enjoys snuggling. She does well in the car but is terrified of storms, often seeking shelter in a closet or burying her head in a lap. Flora’s ideal home would be with someone who is often around, enjoys walks or jogs, and will play fetch with her. A home with no other pets or a well balanced dog of similar age, size, and energy level would be ideal. Flora needs an owner who will continue positive reinforcement to help with her anxiety. Flora is very smart, loves learning new tricks, and is very submissive and affectionate. She may be a work in progress, but will reward you with love and companionship for years to come! ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. *** Interested in applying to adopt her?

Meet Lila, a petite little cat/fox/coyote hybrid with a sweet heart, a social nature, and a floofy booty. Want to see Lila’s personality in motion? Head to her YouTube video here: https://youtu.be/Vt-nzCUjO7o Lila walks nicely on leash and thanks to her size and manners, isn’t much of a puller, which makes strolls feel easy and calm. With people, she’s very approachable, she has greeted every person she has met with the same warm welcome. When she walks into a room full of people there is a part of her that lights up, almost like she just walked into a suprise party for her. She is accepting of affection without pushing for it and she was even comfortable being picked up! Her comfort zone with humans is already pretty solid, and it shows. With other dogs, Lila has been introduced to a wide variety of dogs and we can see that she can be a bit insecure. This mostly looks just like it would in people, a bit avoidant and a tiny bit anti-social. Given she is only estimated to be 1 year old, she is the perfect age to learn from new experiences. She will continue to meet new dogs and live along side them while she waits to be adopted and we anticipate this will result into her growing the confidence to build canine-connections and find her playful side. When she gets to her new home she will need the understanding that she may need a refresh on this learning- phase but we do not anticipate any issues with her integrating into a home with dogs. Though she would absolutely love to be an only-dog if that is what you are looking for. Lila weighs an adorable 26 lbs and although we cannot guarantee breed or age given she is a rescue, we see Carolina dog, Chihuahua, maybe even some corgi. Fluffy, petite, golden-coated cutie, 100%. With proper decompression, slow introductions, and confidence-building, we think she can live with a dog, ideally one who’s calm, respectful, and not pushy. Cats are a no for Lila. She got too interested so we would love to set her up for success by keeping her in a cat-free home. Home-wise, Lila could do well in an apartment as long as her brain and body get their daily dose of walks, sniffy time, basic training games, puzzle toys, and continued socializing. As for kiddos, she met 8 year old Cash and basically melted into a puddle of fluff looking for a belly rub. We believe she would do well in a home with dog savvy older, 8+, children who would enjoy spending time playing fetch and other games with her! If you have a young child and are curious to know how she is, please feel free to let us know and we will check it out for you! If you’re looking for a small companion who’s already sweet with people and just needs patient, thoughtful support to feel secure around other dogs, Lila is ready to be your girl.
