Flossie - Adoption Pending!
This sweet and tender girl was found roaming around in lower Alabama all alone and very scared. It took the ACO a bit of time to corral her but now she is in our care and doing very well. We named her Flossie, which means "blooming and thriving!"
Flossie, who weighs about 50 lbs, is thought to be about 6-7 years old and may be an Australian Shepherd mix but whatever went into her DNA, it created a wonderful and loving girl. The vet tech who cares for Flossie told us, "She is so sweet - when I let her out of her kennel for playtime, she runs to me and uses her front legs to give me a hug and buries her face in my chest. She is so snuggly and you can tell how she longs to belong. I told her she was the best girl EVER!" Flossie agrees that she is! :-)
Our volunteer photographer also shared, " She is affectionate, wags her tail all the time, and even offered a paw to shake as she set back on her rear legs. I love it when they do that..kinda like a kangaroo!
We are not sure if something happened in her past to make Flossie hesitant around men, but we feel she would do best in a household with women or possibly in a situation with a couple where the man would allow Flossie to come around in her own time. Flossie is new to SGRR and we will be learning more about her. Take a look at her video and see what a lovely girl Flossie is! And check out her photo above, where her beautiful glossy coat has been brushed to perfection!
Flossie has been spayed, brought up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and is negative for heartworms. Flossie has also received a Proheart 6 injection which means she will not need heartworm preventative for six months. She will be headed to the northeast in mid-June and will be ready to meet her forever humans. Could that be you? If you are interested in becoming the happy ending to Flossie's rescue story, please contact Mary to be considered to adopt this happy, tail-wagging girl! If not yet approved, please fill out an application to be considered.
Rescued dogs come with a range of needs, from behavioral to emotional to medical. When you adopt such dogs you are agreeing to become part of their life's journey and to continue the rehabilitation we have begun.
