About Finley

Meet Finley! This friendly 4-year-old Chihuahua was once a stray who found himself in a tough spot after being hit by a car. Rescued just in time, he underwent FHO surgery to fix a broken femoral head and is now fully healed and ready for his forever home. At just 7 lbs, Finley is a little guy with a big heart, always eager to greet new friends with a wagging tail. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys playtime, so he’ll thrive best in a home with another small, playful companion. Suitable for families with children over 5, Finley isn't a fit for apartments and needs ample space to explore. Finley will be available for adoption starting December 5th. For those in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, a one-week home trial is included before finalizing the adoption! Your new best friend is just one click away.
