Meet flora the joyful bloom

Flora is a 2-year-old Chihuahua mix with a bright, happy spirit and a heart full of love. She’s energetic, playful, and incredibly sweet, with just a touch of shyness at first. Once she feels safe and settled, her affectionate side shines—she’s a big fan of cuddling, especially at bedtime.

Flora truly enjoys being around people and other dogs. She’s always up for a good play session, backyard fun with dog friends, or a nice walk. Curious and eager to engage, she loves learning, exploring, and soaking up attention from her humans. While she’s friendly with everyone she meets. As with any dog and child home we recommended slow introductions to young children due to her enthusiastic, happy-go-lucky nature. On her daily walks, she eagerly looks for the neighborhood children to greet.

She has lived comfortably with other dogs, both big and small, and currently lives with two cats. She cuddles with them, respects the one that says, "we are not playing" making her a great fit for a multi-pet household. Flora would thrive in a home with other pets and would also do well with an active family who enjoys spending time together.

This little lady has some great manners too! Flora is crate trained, potty trained and walks well on a leash. She enjoys quieter walks and can be a bit unsure around loud motorcycles or cars, but she does just fine with reassurance.

She loves car rides, especially when she can get a good view, and happily rides in a doggie car seat. For those who like to mix things up, Flora can even keep pace with a gentle jog (though she’s more “fun run” than marathon!).

And yes, Flora is a fashion icon! She loves dress-up and proudly rocks her outfits with confidence and charm.

If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate, and social little companion who enjoys both activity and snuggle time, Flora is ready to bring joy, fun, and lots of love into her forever home!

We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA  or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)! Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey!  

You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!   

The adoption fee is $1,200 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectable, heartworm test and treatment if needed, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and priceless years of love and loyal companionship!   

We have over 15,000 successful adoptions so far and have excellent Google Reviews: https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.   

Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!   

Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.  

Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.   

The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.  

It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!  

Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.
