Flint #2 | 1-year-old Terrier mix | Your Sweet, Snuggly Shadow

Meet Flint, a 1-year-old, 27-pound Terrier mix with an incredibly sweet nature and a whole lot of love to give! This affectionate boy is happiest when he's close to his people, whether curled up beside you on the couch, resting his chin on you while you work, or snuggled under the covers at bedtime. He's a devoted little companion who simply loves being part of whatever you're doing.

Flint has a nice balance of playful energy and laid-back relaxation. He enjoys his daily walks, playing with toys, chewing on Benebones, and, apparently, hunting grasshoppers and keeping an eye on the ducks at the local pond! He's also a curious little guy who finds the shower fascinating and enjoys sneaking a drink when he gets the chance. After a couple of walks and some playtime, he's perfectly content to settle in and enjoy some downtime with his favorite humans.

He's doing wonderfully with his house training and hasn't had an accident in his foster home. Of course, even a house-trained dog may have an occasional accident when adjusting to a new home and routine, so a little patience and consistency during the transition will go a long way.

Flint is also a superstar in his crate! He goes in happily for a treat, settles quietly, and sleeps soundly through the night. He's been comfortable staying home alone for up to 3-4 hours without any issues.

Flint gets along well with other dogs, although he can be a little timid around larger dogs. He did very well with a puppy in his foster home with slow introductions and supervision. He's also had a positive experience with a cat, essentially ignoring it, and has been comfortable around children. As with any dog, thoughtful introductions and supervision are always recommended.

One thing to know about Flint is that he's a sensitive soul who needs a little time to feel comfortable in new surroundings. He was quite shy during his first few days in foster care and may initially seek out a quiet place to hide when entering a new environment. He's also still building confidence on walks and sometimes freezes when something makes him nervous. A patient person who can encourage him with treats, positive reinforcement, and reassurance will help him continue to blossom. Once he feels safe, his affectionate personality really shines!

Flint's ideal home is one where his people are around most of the time and he isn't routinely left alone for more than 3-4 hours. He would love a family willing to give him the patience and encouragement he needs as he continues building confidence. In return, you'll have a loving, loyal companion who will bring plenty of sweetness and joy to your everyday life.

If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate best friend who will happily be your little shadow, Flint might just be your guy!



If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.
