Finley (A567308) is a sweet boy who just needs a little guidance to shine. He can be a bit shy at first and sometimes hesitates when you first try to leash him. Once you earn that brief moment of trust and step outside with him though, you can see the nerves begin to melt away. The loudness of our kennel area is overwhelming for many dogs and for Finley especially, it can be a lot to take in. Outdoors is where Finley feels safe enough to let his personality peek through. He walks a bit nervously on leash in the beginning but loosens up once he knows you are with him. He shows promising signs of house training as he goes as soon as he steps outside, but like any shelter pup, a consistent routine in a quiet home will help finish the job. Finley enjoys exploring our yard and taking his time sniffing every corner. A fenced space would make him happy, though it is not required. What he wants most is simply a person who understands that shy dogs do not stay shy forever. He loves gentle affection and will stand quietly by your side, soaking up every bit of reassurance and kindness offered. There is something incredibly special about the way he leans in like he is slowly learning what safety feels like. Any family would be lucky to have this sweetie.
