About Finn

Finn is a 7-month-old Cane Corso blend who brings a puppy’s curiosity to just about everything. He’s the self-appointed Lead Investigator of every new sound, passing car, and neighbor—if it moves, Finn will study it. Neighborhood walks are a series of adventures; while he sometimes gets sidetracked on potty breaks, it’s clear he’s just taking his work seriously as chief observer. Inside, Finn is polite at mealtimes, well-mannered with treats, and keen to improve his leash and house skills. His foster home reports he’s smart, eager to please, and steadily building confidence. A cuddler at heart, Finn loves being close to his people. Whether he’s the “little spoon” in a snuggle or making everyone laugh with his puppy clumsiness, Finn brings joy and energy into the home. He thrives with routine—early mornings and regular walks suit him well—and another stable, confident dog helps bring out his best. His ideal adopter is ready for a big-hearted, inquisitive companion ready for teamwork, training, and plenty of affection. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
