My story

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

Did you know the name Finn means fair or blessed in Irish mythology? We think our Finn fits his name well, as he is fair in colour and just a blessing too.

Finn came to us in January after his owner passed away. At that time Finn was 5 months old. He was placed in a foster home with the intention to adopt, however that did not work out and we are now looking for his fur-ever home!

Here are some notes left by his foster home:
- He is very smart, listens with treats for reward. - Needs a person/family that is high energy and maybe has another dog that can keep up with him.
- He is a bit too rough with smaller animals, he does not know his own size! - Fully house-trained, will ring bell on door knob to let you know he needs to go out.
- Good on leash but will get overly excited at times and forget his manners. - He is a counter surfer!
- Has some destructive capabilities if his needs aren't getting met. - Loves to play fetch, soccer, and loves water. - Gets excited easily, and then he gets the zoomies! -ALLERGIES: CHICKEN & DUCK

Finn is a very sweet and very energetic boy who does not quite know his size but has a heart of gold!

Other Dogs: Maybe, well matched
Cats: Unknown
Kids: Yes but older 14+
Apartment: Maybe
Walks: Loves them!
New People: Yes, use treats and he is your new best friend!

More about this shelter

Want to adopt a pet and give them a forever home? We're thrilled! Our pro-adoption shelter places 200 to 300 dogs and small animals every year with families and homes that best meet the needs of the animals.

We have dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. While puppies are popular, older dogs can be great pets, too. They are smart and grateful companions that won't leave you with puppy puddles or chewed-up slippers. Why not enrich your life and that of an older dog?

We also adopt out small animals including rabbits, hamsters, birds, rats, guinea pigs, and sometimes reptiles.
