ABOUT
Hello! My name is Fleur! I'm a happy little girl full of life looking for my forever home. Is that with you? If so, please hit the "adopt me" button because this cuteness won't be around for long!
PERSONALITY
Foster mom says I'm very loving, snuggly and enjoy belly rubs. I like to run around in the yard but mostly enjoy being a couch potato. I'm very quiet and don't bark much. I'm more shy with men but will warm up.
SKILLS & TRAINING
*House-trained
*Crate-trained (prefers to sleep in bed with her person)
*Good with dogs
*Good with kids
*Good on leash
IDEAL HOME
My ideal home will have a very secure fenced yard because I prefer to do my business in a yard off leash and tend to be an escape artist.
This dog tested positive for heartworm disease before arriving to the rescue. Heartworm disease is transmitted to a dog through a bite from an infected mosquito producing a positive test in six months. OPH will treat the dog and provide two weeks of recovery time prior to adoption. Potential adopters will receive detailed information on the disease and their role in completing the recovery process from OPH’s heartworm coordinator. 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.
