About Flower

Flower is in need of a new foster or ideally adoptive home. She is currently located in Lakeland, FL (Manatee County) and transport is available throughout the state to a new foster home. Flower has been in rescue since 2015 when she, her mom and littermates were rescued from having been dumped in a box in Miami. Her mom and siblings were adopted that year, but we held Flower back due to a heart problem called cardiomyopathy that has since been nearly eliminated with good nutrition, supplements and medication. The rescue provides support and cardiology appointments for fosters. Flower is a 2-year-old, 63 pound spayed female, chocolate brown, bully boxer mix with maybe some lab thrown in as well. Her mom looks like an American bully and is doing great in her forever home. Flower is so lanky she is surely mixed with something athletic. She is an attention-seeking, fun-loving, energetic pup that loves to run and play. Flower gets along well with and loves to play with other dogs, but can get a bit intense. For this reason she is not suited for homes with small children or small pets. She sleeps in a crate at night and when her current foster family leaves the house. She is well potty trained and goes potty outside on leash. She is also skilled in using a dog door. She knows basic commands and leash etiquette, but has a stubborn streak sometimes. On leash she will participate in simple agility tasks, but off leash she loses focus and just wants to run. She requires a fenced yard for play and exercise. Flower is spayed, up-to-date on vaccines and preventives, microchipped and heartworm negative. Please inquire if you are interested in fostering or adopting this sweet and wonderful girl. 9/6/18 Update on Flower. Flower is moving to a new foster home in Lakeland!
