My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I’m Flint—though sometimes I’m called “Flash” when my zoomies kick in! I’m a charming mix, mostly Beagle with a hint of Basset, and I love to follow my nose wherever it leads. I was found as a stray, so my full story is a mystery, but I’m about 6 years old and a petite 30 pounds.

I do have two easy-to-manage medical needs: a low-functioning thyroid (I take meds twice a day, which don’t cost much and are easy to add to my food) and a skin condition that makes my coat a bit oily. Weekly baths keep me feeling and looking my best, and I actually enjoy bathtime—more scratches for me! BROOD’s medical director would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

I’m adaptable and would fit well into almost any family. I love other dogs (check out my video!), though I’d be just as happy as an only dog, too. I get along with cats and prefer to just let them be. I adore people and children of all ages; Halloween was a highlight, with so many kids in costume giving me pets and scratches! I’m a quiet guy, so I’d make a great neighbor for those in apartments or townhomes.

I enjoy spending time in the yard, but I’d be fine in a home without a fenced yard as long as I get plenty of short walks. I’m working on housetraining and getting better at letting my family know when I need to go out. Crate training is coming along too, and though I bark a bit at first, I quickly settle down with a chewy bone and enjoy a nap. I’m a quick learner and am already practicing “sit”!

If you’re looking for a friendly, easy-going, and cuddly companion, I might just be the perfect match for you! Contact BROOD today, and let’s start our journey together. My adoption fee is $250.00.


**Only BROOD-approved adopters can meet a dog (no exceptions). Our adoption application is on the BROOD website at https://brood-va.org/adoptionapp/. We adopt to residents of Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, DC, Delaware, and southern Pennsylvania. Do not apply to adopt from BROOD if you live in another state. We require a virtual home visit and a veterinary reference.

The age of many BROOD dogs is unknown, as very few come with official records. The estimate on the dog’s age is usually the initial estimate given by the receiving shelter, which may be different from that given at the time of the initial checkup. Different veterinarians may also give different ages, and those different opinions are sometimes reflected on the record. ***BROOD’s adoption fees are det
