Floyd

My story

Meet Floyd My name is Floyd! (This is a little long but please read!) I am not just a dog—I am a gentle soul with a heart big enough to fill your entire home. Despite a rough start and a few health bumps, I wake up every day with a wagging tail, ready to play fetch (even if I can’t see where the ball lands—I’ll find it with my nose and my heart ?). I am around 4 years old, 60 lbs and a stunning Catahoula mix. I was thrown out like trash by some very mean people. By some miracle, I survived. I was given this chance to search for my new family. I have certainly earned the right to a loving life. I am looking to be: • ? A best buddy to older kids and adults (I have not been exposed to kids under 11) • ? A dog friend/sibling to other respectful dogs • ? A dog brother to a cat or cats • ? Appreciative of all home comforts and living things and show my willingness to experience the world • ?A great patient to my new family - I am diabetic (managed with insulin twice a day and eye drops)—and a champion about it! Why am I listed as “special needs?” This my deal - I have cataracts that limits my vision. I don’t let it stop me from enjoying every ounce of love and play I can find! Ziva Dog Rescue has started to raise funds for a $7,000 surgery to restore my sight. I can still see but it’s limited. I am so excited to wake up after my procedure and see clearly! Could I “give in” and just let the cataracts take over? I guess… but I am still young and we feel that I finally deserve a full quality of life! ?I am not looking for perfect in my new home (no one is perfect) —I am looking for present. Someone who sees past my medical chart and might have some experience with diabetic dogs. If you’ve ever wanted to be someone’s hero, this is your moment. Adopt me! Let me show you what unconditional love really looks like. Ziva Dog Rescue realizes that by adopting a dog like Floyd, Floyd’s new family may take on “out of the norm” expenses right away.
