Hi, I'm Flynn — and honestly, my story started a little rough. I was found running loose on the streets of Jacksonville with no chip, no ID, and no one coming to claim me. But here's the thing about me: I land on my feet. Or, well, all four paws. It took me a beat to trust my foster family, but once I did? Completely smitten. I'm a leashed-walk enjoyer, an other-dog tolerator, and a genuinely sweet boy who just needed someone to give him a chance. That someone might be you. My Ideal Home I'm good with other dogs and do well with both men and women. I just need a family that's patient with me during the "getting to know you" phase — I'm a little shy at first, but I warm up fast and I'm worth the wait. A Few Important Things to Know Heart murmur: A heart murmur was detected during my intake exam. It hasn't slowed me down, but my forever family should be prepared for regular vet monitoring and the possibility of future cardiac care. A vet visit shortly after adoption is a must. Fatty tumor: There's a benign fatty lump on my back leg — common and not currently a concern, but worth keeping an eye on with your vet. Working on my figure: I came in a little fluffy. A healthy diet and those leashed walks I love should help me get to my ideal weight over time. What I Bring to the Table Someone caught me running loose, someone drove to get me, someone opened their home to me — and I rewarded every single one of them with sweetness. That's just who I am. I was a little nervous at first, sure. But give me a minute and I will show you exactly who Flynn is: a gentle, loving, good-with-dogs boy who just wants a soft place to land. Permanently this time.
