About Finn.

Meet Finn, a proven family dog who deserves to skip the shelter and find his next loving home. Finn has thrived for the past two years with a family, becoming an integral part of their lives. Unfortunately, due to a family divorce, he needs to find a permanent home or a foster by December. Having known the warmth and care of a household, we want to ensure Finn doesn't face the confusion and stress of a kennel. Finn excels around children, having spent years with four kids, the youngest being just 7. He's a friendly, compassionate companion who loves the company of respectful, school-age children and older. He’s always eager to greet new people, treating strangers like friends waiting to happen. This joyful dog enjoys his playtime, especially a game of tug, and demonstrates fantastic manners. Fully crate trained, Finn willingly enters his crate when asked. He’s highly responsive and eager to please, following commands well and thriving with a calm, engaged handler. In addition, Finn generally gets along with dogs his own size or smaller. While he may feel tense around larger dogs and show some leash reactivity, he's easily redirected using treats and quick changes in direction. Finn is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations. This happy family dog knows how to love and live in a home. Let's protect his sweet spirit and find him a forever family or dedicated foster before December so he never has to step foot inside a shelter. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
