About Finley Please Read

Finley Please Read has blossomed since arriving in rescue. She now greets other dogs with ease and quickly warms up to people, radiating gratitude and affection. This girl craves companionship—she's happiest cuddling close, offering up snuggles with her gentle, loving nature. While shy at first, Finley’s playful and submissive streak shines through. She fits right in with dogs of all sizes, even tiny or older ones, and seems to need the company of at least one other dog in her new home. A fenced yard is non-negotiable: Finley is still learning about leashes and may feel insecure without a safe, secure outdoor space. She is quiet, but will try to be protective, and is always up for playtime. She originally came into care after being abandoned at a grocery store, and despite her rough start, Finley has transformed into an affectionate, “velcro” dog who attaches closely to her people and canine pals. She’s playful, gentle, and would thrive in a home ready to give her time and continue building her confidence. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who lives for snuggles and dog friends, Finley is ready for you. Let’s make it official, apply to adopt!
