About Finn

Meet Finn. He doesn't just enter a room—he wiggles right into it, tail going, eyes lit up, always searching for someone to love. Finn is pure "wiggles and giggles" according to his foster team, and the name fits. At about a year old and weighing in around 44 pounds, he's right between puppy and adult. He brings a lot of energy and an open-hearted friendliness that's hard to miss. Finn came to the rescue in good shape and has only gotten better since. He's thriving in board and train, showing that he truly enjoys structure and guidance. Consistent routines help him feel secure, and he responds with eagerness. Finn is one of those dogs who connects closely with people—always ready for a cuddle, game, or simply making you laugh. Sometimes, a fire hydrant or odd shadow will catch him off guard, but he quickly moves on with some reassurance from his person. He's not easily thrown off, instead settling back in quickly. His "pibble nibbles"—gentle mouthing of toys and soft things—are playful, not destructive. It’s part of his quirky, puppy-like charm. Because he's athletic and can jump high, Finn needs a securely fenced yard and plenty to do. He’s best suited to an adopter willing to keep up his training and give him jobs or activities that challenge him. If you’re seeking a companion who makes you feel like the most important person around and greets every day with joy, Finn stands out. He's ready to grow into a devoted friend for someone who values structure and engagement. We'd be happy to share what a home with Finn looks like. Start your journey together! Apply now.
