Short-stack Flapjack is one-of-a-kind perfection!

If you like your dogs short on legs, long on body, big on love…Meet Flapjack, the shortstack best-boy! He is absolute perfection- polite, friendly, affectionate, playful, dog friendly and a gentleman with a cat.

To truly understand the “short-stack” description you have to watch his video. We suspect he is a Basset Hound/Lab mix but everyone who meets his take a minute to soak in his form. Its the way it is mis-matched so perfectly that adds to his impeccable charm. Estimated to be 1 y/o, he weighs 47 lbs and is full-grown. Given he is a rescue we cannot guarantee breed or age and as you can tell, breed is one that has us truly wondering, so please, if you adopt him and opt for a DNA test, please share the results. We love updates and DNA results on the head-scratchers are a favorite!

Flapjack is a loving, people-oriented sweetheart who is ready to give you a little hug and maybe sneak a gentle kiss within a few moment of meeting you. Not in a pushy way though, his approach is gentle and so friendly. We were all impressed by how balanced his energy is, whether it was meeting new people or being introduced to new dogs- he is friendly, warm and polite, with a perfect touch of obvious joy. We introduced him to a handful of new dogs and he was consistently welcoming with great doggie manners. He shows his friendly, playful personality easily and gets excited when meeting a dog that is matching that playful energy. Naturally, not every dog is the playful, happy type, and although she will try to get them to change their mind, she also knows when to move on. We would describe him as moderately energetic—up for a play session or a nice walk, but just as happy snuggling on the couch with a toy. He has shown he can match medium-energy canine friends and will be a wonderful addition to any pack. His playful yet balanced energy makes him a great companion for someone looking for a dog who enjoys both fun, social-time just as much as downtime.

Flapjack will enjoy walks and is easy to handle on leash, he passes dogs with a friendly acknowledgement and takes redirection/ correction easily. He is sensitive to correction, and tunes in easily which will help his leash skills polish up to perfect with ease. He may occasionally want to slow down to soak up the sites or meet a passer by but he is easy to keep moving when needed. Given he has some hound-like qualities we would say apartment living may not suit him. We haven’t heard much of it but the occasional bark or chattyish howl may not be as enjoyed by neighbors as we do. A home with a yard or a detached condo would be best. His energy and size means he will fit right in. From everything we have seen he would enjoy having another dog in the home to play with. If an only-dog, he would benefit from regular walks, enrichment, and occasional days at a doggie day-care for his dog-friendly playful side to be satisfied. If you have a cat, don’t worry there, when introduced to a cat he was respectful and calm. When allowed to sniff the cat he was friendly and very respectful not to be too pushy. We would consider him cat-tolerant and he will respond well to learning from his people and the cat what the boundaries are.

With his cheerful, easy-going nature and love for people, he’s sure to be a fantastic companion for any family or individual looking for the unique charm this special boy brings. He is perfect and ready for adoption!
