Finley's Story

Finley is happiest when he is being held by one of his people and will climb into your lap whenever he gets the chance.

Finley is a big fan of food and treats and is just starting to discover the fun of dog toys.<br/><br/>What do they need to work on?<br/>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.<br/><br/>How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone?<br/>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.<br/><br/>Where do they sleep?<br/>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.<br/><br/>What is their ideal home?<br/>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.<br/><br/>The Adoption fee is $325.
