Flora Gentle Grace - Rottweiler and Great Dane Dog for Adoption in Friendswood, Texas

Flora is only six months old, but there is already something wonderfully calm and thoughtful about her. She is gentle with little kids, respectful with cats, sweet with other dogs and perfectly content entertaining herself with a toy in the grass. Everyone who meets Flora seems to fall in love with her soft, easygoing presence.

Go watch Flora on YouTube to see her sweet personality in action and find out exactly what her DNA test revealed. If you want to skip ahead (but why would you) results are at the 2 minute mark.

That’s right- we do not have to guess Flora’s breed mix! Her foster was as curious as we were and sent off a DNA test! Lucky you, there is no 6 week wait time and the results show that she is a Rottweiler and Great Dane mix. She is still growing and will likely become a fairly large dog, but so far, she carries herself with a gentleness and maturity that feel well beyond her six months.

Flora is fostered in a busy, loving home with dogs and cats. Most of the resident dogs are older and not particularly interested in keeping a puppy entertained all day, but Flora handles that beautifully. She will happily carry a toy or chewy bone outside, settle into the grass, putter around sniffing and enjoy her own company. She does not need another dog to be happy, though she does enjoy friendly, lighthearted dogs that like to play without being overly rough. Flora currently lives with small dogs and thrives with them.

She is also genuinely wonderful with cats. Flora lives with them and remained calm and respectful when she met our house cat, even while he ran, jumped, played and attempted to stalk her. She was unfazed and showed no interest in chasing or bothering him.

Flora has spent time with children ranging from two to 15 years old and has been wonderful with them. She is still a growing puppy and may occasionally jump when excited, but she has shown impressive mindfulness and gentleness around smaller children.

At home, Flora has been an incredibly easy addition. She is both house and crate trained, has basic leash skills and responds well to direction. She is highly treat motivated, intelligent and eager to learn. Her best match will be someone excited to continue her training, building her confidence and give that thoughtful puppy brain plenty of positive things to do.

Flora’s foster truly has nothing but praise for her. She is sweet, content, beautifully gentle and already such a lovely companion. She could live in a house or apartment as long as her family is prepared for her eventual size and committed to giving this intelligent girl the continued training, socialization and reassurance she needs to keep growing into her very best self.
