About Flo
Flo is a beautiful, curly-coated girl with a heart full of love and a gentle, reserved nature. At 50 lbs, shes a big, elegant pup, and the best part? She doesnt shed!

Flo recently arrived and is still adjusting to her new surroundings. Shes 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 isnt a fan of being closed in just yet
Cat-friendly Notices outdoor cats but isnt reactive

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. 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 OPHs heartworm coordinator. With monthly preventatives, the disease is completely preventable.

Operation Paws for Homes, Inc. (OPH) rescues dogs and cats of all breeds and ages from high-kill shelters in NC, VA, MD, and SC, reducing the numbers being euthanized. With limited resources, the shelters are forced to put down 50-90% of the animals that come in the front door. OPH provides pet adoption services to families located in VA, DC, MD, PA and neighboring states. OPH is a 501(c)(3) organization and is 100% donor funded. OPH does not operate a shelter or have a physical location. We rely on foster families who open their homes to give love and attention to each pet before finding a forever home.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.
