INTRODUCING MR. FINLEY….. This 4-5 year old, 18 lb dapper dude is a mix of a few breeds – possibly Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apso, Schnauzer, and Poodle (his mother was probably a hussy)! Whatever he is, it’s 100% adorable.

We don’t know about Finley’s past, but it’s clear he hasn’t had an easy time. Initially, he was a bit skittish and shy, he would hide and we had to “nudge” him to out — but his new foster dad said…no more! He has officially transformed into a sweet and affectionate companion. They have told us that he has really settled in and is getting along famously with the other dogs, people on the street, kids, he loves to greet people and let them know he’d like to get to know them!!

Finley would do best in a reassuring environment, hopefully with a yard and maybe another playful, happy dog, maybe even a little bigger than he is. Training will help him bond and adjust, especially in the potty department, where he is doing very well. He is very smart and now that his fear has subsided, we’re sure he will be an easy train. He’s great with other dogs and kids over 8 yrs, and when he feels safe and loved, he’ll be a loyal and loving companion.

The key element to success with Finley will be attention and love. He is not a barker and will be a wonderful companion when he is comfortable and realizes he is safe and adored. If you’re looking for a furry friend who just needs a little extra TLC, Finley could be the perfect match for you! Are you ready to open your heart and home to this sweet boy?
