About Finn

Meet Finn, a charming young Shih Tzu currently under the care of the Lycoming County SPCA in Williamsport, PA. At just 11 months old, he has a beautiful long coat that features shades of brown and cream. Finn has shown he can be compatible with children 8 years and older, though it’s best assessed case by case. He has not been tested with cats, as the shelter does not conduct those evaluations. Initially shy, Finn gradually opened up during his assessment, seeking out interactions as he became more comfortable. He understands the sit command and demonstrates good stability around sudden noises, though he prefers to engage with toys independently rather than directly with people. Finn is neutered, vaccinated, and has a delightful personality that simply needs a bit more encouragement to flourish. If you're looking to welcome a gentle companion into your home, consider Finn. He might just be the furry friend you've been searching for! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
