About Finn

Finn is a 3-year-old Labrador Retriever mix who’s had a tough past but never lost his gentle soul. After recovering from being hit by a car, which led to a tail amputation, and returning to SAAP when his former person could no longer care for him, Finn is finally ready for a fresh start. He’s still nervous, especially about new things and loud cars, but his foster home has seen big progress as his confidence grows. Finn is a classic cuddle bug—clingy, snuggly, and happiest tucked in close to his people. He’s a bit socially awkward with other dogs and seems to do best with slow introductions to a confident, patient canine friend. He’s been working on ignoring other dogs during walks and learning that the world isn’t always so scary. Finn does well when crated for up to five hours, and usually behaves when left in a dog-proofed room (though his bed sometimes falls victim to his curiosity). He comes with support from Pawlished Dog Training, including a free lesson and ongoing help for his adopters. Finn would thrive in a foster-to-adopt situation, giving him time to adjust and his new family the tools to help him succeed. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
