My story

Finley  is a dapper little guy who loves affection, being held, and prancing around on his long little legs. He may take a few days to warm up and can be a bit skittish at first, but once he feels safe, his sweet, loving personality really shines. Finley is gentle, kind, and affectionate, and he does beautifully with other dogs and even young children. Once he settles in, he is simply full of love to give Energy Level?  Medium House trained?  Mostly Describe how they are on a leash?  He was not leash-trained when we rescued him, but we are working on it. Describe how they are with other dogs?  Playful, sweet, and snuggly. Finley enjoys hanging out with our three small resident dogs and running back and forth with them during fetch. He is very food motivated, so we feed them separately to ensure everyone gets their share. Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they?  Not sure, but suspect he'd do well with cats. Commands they know?  Comes when called, usually goes potty outside when told to. What are their favorite things?  Love, snuggles, and your lap. Finley is happiest when he is being held by one of his people and will climb into your lap whenever he gets the chance. He also loves pets and will gently tap you with his paw to politely ask for more. Finley is a big fan of food and treats and is just starting to discover the fun of dog toys. What do they need to work on?  Needs practice walking on a leash. Has not yet learned how to climb stairs, but is happy to be carried up and down them. Nearly potty trained, just occasional accidents. How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone?  Finley does well in his crate while we are away at work and school. He has been alone most of the day. He will occasionally bark or howl along with our resident dogs when they hear noises outside. Where do they sleep?  In his crate downstairs. He will sometimes howl, but overall has adjusted well and goes to bed easily. He would love to be welcomed into the big bed. What is their ideal home?  Finley would do well in any home that is full of love, with people ready to dote on him. He's great with other dogs, gentle and loving with children, and friendly with visitors. He will be a wonderful addition to his forever family. The Adoption fee is $325.  For adoption consideration or to meet our dogs, please complete our online adoption application at www.everypetsdream.org/adopt (http://www.everypetsdream.org/adopt). We will have everything we need to know to call you back and set up an appointment.  Follow us: Facebook and Instagram  March 13, 2026, 8:42 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Finley, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
