About Flo
Flo is a beautiful, curly-coated girl with a heart full of love and a gentle, reserved nature. At 47 lbs, she’s a big, elegant pup, and the best part? She doesn’t shed!
Flo recently arrived and is still adjusting to her new surroundings. She’s timid at first, needing a slow and patient approach, but once she feels safe, her sweet and affectionate personality shines through.
Personality & Behavior
✔ Shy but loving – Needs time to warm up but enjoys gentle affection
✔ Restless in new environments – Will take time to settle in and find her routine
✔ Enjoys outdoor time – Loves to run zoomies in the yard
✔ Crate curious – Will check it out but isn’t a fan of being closed in just yet
✔ Cat-friendly – Notices cats but isn’t reactive and doesn't present any danger to cats
Ideal Home
Flo will thrive in a calm, patient home with an adopter who understands shy dogs and can give her time to feel safe. A secure fenced yard would be great for her, as she loves to stretch her legs and explore. She would likely do well with a confident dog sibling to help her feel more secure.
Included Veterinary Care
Flo comes fully vetted and ready for her forever home, including:
✔ Health certificate from a veterinarian
✔ Up-to-date vaccinations appropriate for her age
✔ Spayed
✔ Microchipped
✔ Heartworm preventative
✔ Flea & tick preventative
✔ Worm/parasite treatments

This dog tested positive for heartworm disease before arriving to the rescue. The disease was treated while in foster care. Heartworm disease is transmitted to a dog through a bite from an infected mosquito. With monthly preventatives, the disease is completely preventable.

All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
