About Finch

Finch stands out with his striking fawn and white markings, giving him an unmistakable look among his siblings, Raven and Dove. Born in the Rio Grande Valley in early November, Finch is deep in the playful, curious phase of puppyhood. He spends his days romping around with toys, palling around with his siblings, and then seeking out a quiet corner or a caring lap when it’s time to recharge. As gentle as he is affectionate, Finch leans into every cuddle and seems eager to soak up whatever time he can with people. He’s just beginning to discover all the good that comes with humans who are patient and kind. Finch is not yet house trained but, like most young puppies, he’s growing and learning a little more each day. He gets along well with other dogs and children, which makes him an easy fit for families ready for puppy energy. Finch is currently fostered in Texas but is available for adoption in Brookeville, MD. Your new best friend is just one click away.
