My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Finn

ABOUT:
NAME - Finn aka Finley, Finwick, Finagin, FinFin
GENDER - Male
BREED - Dobie Mix Maybe?
AGE - 8ish months
SIZE/EXPECTED SIZE - Smaller Medium Size
ENERGY LEVEL - Medium/High

GOOD WITH:
STRANGERS - Shy when meeting strangers
KIDS - Would recommend older kids as we are working through a jumping problem.
DOGS - Yes, non dominant dogs
CATS - NO!
ANIMALS - Ignores our horses

TRAINING:
HOUSE - 95% Id say yes but if you don't pay attention he will pee in the house.
CRATE - Yes
LEASH - Yes but are working on a confidence issue.
BASIC OBEDIENCE - Some not much but he's learning
CAR RIDES - Loves to ride

FUN FACTS:
- From a stray barely surviving by eating scraps he could find around a school dumpster, so scared that he was believed to be feral...

- To the sweetest little guy who loves being held like a child while he gives you ALL the kisses. A dog who loves to go for car rides, sleeping in the bed and playing!

- Hes a smaller framed boy and I dont expect him to get very large. Estimated adult weight of 40 lbs.

- Finns a very sweet guy. He loves to cuddle, being carried and giving kisses. He's very much people oriented and would do perfectly fine in a home as a only dog.

- He loves to play with other dogs but he will need to go to a home with a more submissive dog(s). He doesn't do well with overly dominant/pushy dogs. He is currently in a foster home with multiple dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages.

- Finn had to compete with stray cats for food and unfortunately that has translated to him not being cat friendly.

- He also will need to be crated during feedings as he is not a fan of other dogs around his food. If he goes into a dog & infant-toddler free home he would very much be a dog that enjoys the ability to graze on food throughout the day. He doesn't eat like he's been starved and very much enjoys multiple small meals a day rather than two larger meals. He also thoroughly chews and savors his food and treats.

* I am in NO rush to place him and will not place him unless its honestly the perfect situation for him. Even then he will go as a foster to adopt for a minimum of 30 days - maximum of 90 days, to ensure it is the right placement for him and everyone in the household.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process consists of an application, reference checks, home visits when a reference check is not enough, meet and greet and adoption contract signing.

Please fill out all application fields as accurately as possible. We will not process incomplete applications.

If a dog/pup is listed on Petfinder, we are still accepting applications on him/her.

We do not adopt on a first come, first serve basis, but based on what we feel is the best fit for the family and most importantly, the animal.

We do not keep applications on file. If you are interested in a particular animal please complete an application for that particular animal.

Due to limited space and funding we are unable to, "hold" any animal to be adopted at a later time even with a completed adoption contract.

We welcome out of state adopters. However, please keep in mind that you will HAVE TO come to Holly Hill, SC to meet and adopt any of our animals.

Adoption fees are normally $500 for dogs $300 for cats. However they vary by animal and are listed in each individual posting.

Meet and Greets are scheduled only with approved adoption applications.

Please keep in mind that we do our best to make an educated guess as to the breeds of our rescued pets. In rescue we rarely see the parents of our dogs and puppies, and even when we do, they are usually mixed breeds as well. We also rarely know the age or background (behavioral & medical). We do our best to give accurate descriptions based on what we see while we have them.

More about this rescue

RAVE, which stands for Rural Animal Volunteer Effort, provides crucial care and support for the feral cat colonies and stray dogs in rural South Carolina by offering Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) services, food, shelter, and medical attention to improve their quality of life.

RAVE takes on dogs that others view as 'unadoptable' or 'not desirable'. Most intakes being hounds, pitbull mixes, black dogs, seniors, medical cases or ferals. As a result, the adoption rate for RAVE is lower compared to other rescues in the area. These dogs tend to stay with RAVE for a minimum of 6 months to 1 year. In some cases, dogs have been with the rescue even longer.

RAVE not only focuses on providing care and support for dogs but also extends its helping hand to orphaned kittens, equines, and even ducks in need. The organization's commitment towards animal welfare is truly commendable as they strive to make a difference in the lives of all animals that come their way.
