Flo

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Flo – a little senior seeking her forever resting place Our enchanting Flo was only recently able to travel to her foster home in Germany. Despite all the changes, she has already settled in remarkably well and shows more every day what a lovable and uncomplicated female dog she is. Flo is an older, neutered female dog in a handy small size. She is completely blind, but she orientates herself excellently by her nose and hearing. In her new surroundings she already finds her way around well and manages her daily life with admirable composure. At home, Flo is an absolutely pleasant housemate. She is house-trained, sleeps a lot, enjoys her quiet, and can already stay alone at her foster home without any problems. She is a relaxed dog who makes no great demands and simply likes being close to her people. Sometimes she is still a little unsure in new situations, but with loving companionship she is gradually gaining trust. Walks are not yet among her favorite activities at the moment. Flo does go outside with people, but she prefers to explore her surroundings slowly and at her own pace. With some patience, she will certainly develop more enjoyment of them. Flo gets along well with other dogs, and cats are no problem for her either. Health-wise, Flo is doing well for her age. Due to small urinary stones, she requires urinary diet food on a permanent basis. In addition, some weight reduction would do her good to relieve her joints. Her blindness causes her no pain and restricts her in daily life far less than one might initially assume. For Flo, we wish for a quiet home with sensitive people who will give her the time to settle in at her own pace. Anyone who would like to give an older lady dog the chance of a loving golden age will be rewarded with a gentle, grateful, and incredibly uncomplicated companion.

Flo – eine kleine Seniorin sucht ihren Ruheplatz fürs Leben Unsere bezaubernde Flo durfte erst vor Kurzem auf ihre Pflegestelle in Deutschland reisen. Trotz der vielen Veränderungen hat sie sich bereits erstaunlich gut eingelebt und zeigt jeden Tag mehr, was für eine liebenswerte und unkomplizierte Hündin sie ist. Flo ist eine ältere, kastrierte Hündin im handlichen Kleinformat. Sie ist vollständig blind, orientiert sich aber hervorragend über ihre Nase und ihr Gehör. In ihrer neuen Umgebung findet sie sich bereits gut zurecht und meistert ihren Alltag mit einer bewundernswerten Gelassenheit. Im Haus ist Flo eine absolut angenehme Mitbewohnerin. Sie ist stubenrein, schläft viel, genießt ihre Ruhe und kann auf ihrer Pflegestelle bereits problemlos alleine bleiben. Sie ist eine entspannte Hündin, die keine großen Ansprüche stellt und einfach gerne in der Nähe ihrer Menschen ist. Manchmal ist sie neuen Situationen gegenüber noch etwas unsicher, doch mit liebevoller Begleitung gewinnt sie zunehmend an Vertrauen. Spaziergänge gehören momentan noch nicht zu ihren Lieblingsbeschäftigungen. Flo geht zwar mit nach draußen, erkundet ihre Umgebung aber lieber langsam und in ihrem eigenen Tempo. Mit etwas Geduld wird sie sicherlich noch mehr Freude daran entwickeln. Mit anderen Hunden versteht sich Flo gut und auch Katzen sind für sie kein Problem. Gesundheitlich geht es Flo ihrem Alter entsprechend gut. Aufgrund kleiner Harnsteine benötigt sie dauerhaft Urinary-Futter. Außerdem würde ihr etwas Gewichtsreduktion guttun, um ihre Gelenke zu entlasten. Ihre Blindheit verursacht ihr keine Schmerzen und schränkt sie im Alltag deutlich weniger ein, als man zunächst vermuten würde. Für Flo wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause bei einfühlsamen Menschen, die ihr die Zeit geben, in ihrem Tempo anzukommen. Wer einer älteren Hundedame die Chance auf einen liebevollen Lebensabend schenken möchte, wird mit einer sanften, dankbaren und unglaublich unkomplizierten Begleiterin belohnt.

About Flo

What life with Flo looks like

Flo is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V. in Stuttgart.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Flo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Flo?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Flo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Flo if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V. whether they will for Flo, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Flo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V. lists Flo as spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Flo isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Flo and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
