Finn's Story

Meet Finn! <br/><br/>Finn is a sweet little 2 year old, 12 lb Dachshund boy who came to Dogworks from a hoarding situation. He didn’t have the easiest start in life, so he’s still learning that people can be trusted and that the world isn’t such a scary place. When he first meets someone, he can be a little nervous, but it doesn’t take him long to warm up. Once he does, you’ll see what a fun, affectionate little guy he really is!<br/><br/>Finn loves people and absolutely loves other dogs — big or small, he’s happy to have a playmate. He’s a playful boy who thinks every toy is a good toy. In fact, you’ll usually find at least three toys hanging out in his crate with him! He also enjoys car rides and has a pretty adorable routine after potty breaks... he comes inside and gets the zoomies! <br/><br/>When Finn wants your attention, he has his own special way of asking for it. He’ll pounce on his front paws or give your pants or hand a little nibble. He’s just a funny little guy who wants you to know he’s ready to play!<br/><br/>Finn is crate trained and doing very well with his potty training, with only an occasional accident. He’s learning to walk on a leash and will need someone willing to continue working with him. He also doesn’t understand stairs yet, so his family will need to carry him or provide a ramp.<br/><br/>Finn would do best with a patient family who understands that he may need a little time and encouragement to feel completely comfortable. Although he currently lives with children, he can become nervous around younger kids, so we think he would be happiest in a home with older, respectful children or adults.<br/><br/> He would love having another dog to keep him company, and he truly enjoys the companionship of the dogs in his foster home. We don’t know yet how he would do with cats.<br/><br/>Finn may still have a little confidence to build, but underneath that initial shyness is a happy, playful, affectionate little dog who is ready to find someone he can trust. He’s come a long way from where he started, and now he just needs a family willing to give him the time, patience and love to keep bringing that happy little personality out. <br/><br/>Finn at a glance:<br/> 2-year-old Dachshund<br/> About 12 lbs<br/> Fenced yard required<br/> Loves other dogs<br/> Better suited for older children<br/> Toy-obsessed!<br/> Loves car rides<br/> Crate trained<br/> Almost completely potty trained<br/> Still working on leash skills<br/> Sweet, playful and affectionate<br/><br/>He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and is on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention.<br/><br/>His adoption fee is $350.<br/><br/>Please follow the link below for the adoption application. Note: applicants must live within one hour of Toledo, Ohio.<br/><br/>http://www.dogworksohio.com/adoption-application.html

DogWorks Inc. Canine Rescue and Placement's Adoption Policy
Dogworks strives to place dogs into permanent homes based on the dogs' personalities and yours. To adopt a dog, we require a completed application, signed adoption contract, and home visit. Applications can be submitted online, by mail, or in person at adoption events. Once your application has been submitted, we will contact your references and consider suitability. You will be contacted by phone or email, typically within 4 business days, to make arrangements for adoption. If a particular dog is not placed with you, it does not mean that your application has been rejected. Dogworks receives multiple applications for some dogs. Foster families always have the first option to adopt. We do not approve applications on a first come basis as we strive for placement that is best for the dog and adoptive family. The home environment, family composition and yard are very important considerations in our decision to place a dog in a home. Some dogs do not do well with young children or cats, and our hounds require a fenced yard as examples of our decision process. Adoption fees are variable (typically $125-$500.00) and are listed with the description of each dog. All fees collected are used to cover rescue expenses, including foster care and veterinary expenses. Adoption fee will be refunded if you decide that the dog is not compatible with your family within 2 weeks. All dogs have received age appropriate vaccinations, GI dewormer, and heartworm test prior to adoption if they are old enough. Adult dogs and puppies older than 12 weeks are spayed/neutered. Adopters of younger puppies may be required to sign an agreement to complete spay/neuter by 5 months of age. We will assist with spay/neuter costs. All of our dogs and puppies will be microchipped prior to adoption. Adopters will receive a copy of medical records when adoption contract has been signed and adoption fees have been paid in full. Requirements for adoption: Please be aware that your adoption application WILL NOT be approved by Dogworks unless ALL of these criteria are met: >Adopters must be within a one hour radius of Toledo. >Adopters must be at least 21 years of age. >Veterinary reference must be positive. >All dogs in the home must be spayed/neutered. >All members of the household must be in agreement to adopt. >Individual needs of the dog must be met in prospective home (e.g., fully fenced yard for all hounds).
