Flippers - Mutt Female Dog For Adoption in Chestertown, Maryland, USA

Dog Breed: Terrier.

She beat the odds, found a home, and now she's hoping for one more chance to find her forever family. Meet Flippers! You may recognize Flippers from about a year ago when she arrived at the shelter sporting her famous flat feet, this special girl spent quite a while in casts and then in foster care while she learned what it meant to be loved, safe, and part of a family. During that time, she blossomed into the wonderful dog she is today. Flippers was adopted and was happily living her best life, but unfortunately, circumstances changed when her adopter had to take a new job and could no longer keep her. Through no fault of her own, Flippers has found herself back with us and searching for a new family to love. To our surprise, Flippers is still very much a puppy at heart! She's matured in all the right ways and has gained some manners along the way, but she still has plenty of playful energy and enthusiasm for life. She recently spent time with our behaviorist, where she did very well and showed just how smart and adaptable she can be. Flippers has lived successfully with a small dog and enjoys canine companionship. She has also lived with younger children and did not show any issues. Cats, however, are a little too exciting for Flippers, so she is looking for a cat-free home. Because she's an active, athletic girl who loves to explore, she will require a home with a secure 6-foot fenced yard. Flippers has already overcome so much in her life, and through it all she has remained the happy, resilient dog we fell in love with from the beginning. Now all she needs is another chance at the forever home she deserves. Could Flippers be the missing piece in your family? Come meet this unforgettable girl and see why so many people have been rooting for her since day one. Flipper's adoption fee is $125, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption.
