Finster's Story

Update 07/27/2026:<br/>Finster is our longest resident; waiting 1,377 days for a home. <br/>Finster ("Fin", "Finny") was brought to the rescue as a stray after found scratching at the door of a stranger's home in the middle of the night looking for shelter. <br/>Fin loves when it's his time to come out of his kennel. He waits, acts the perfect gentleman, and takes a nice easy trot, head held high, down the aisle. Once off leash, he runs the big yard, enjoying the stretch. Sometimes he just wants to hang out, lean up against you for a nice butt scratching. He excitedly but gently walks on a leash and takes time to stop and enjoy the smells.<br/>Finny arrived with a broken tail and several marks and scars. We dont know his story, but we recognize he lived a tough life before we found him. He can be dog reactive and overly excited meeting new people, which requires some exposure before he is fully introduced. Once understood, he's easily loved and loves <br/>Finster would do best in an adult household, and as an only pet. He will need some time to get to know you, and may require a few interactions with a committed person, but once all that is done, you can't help but love this guy!! Beneath his big-dog energy, is a sweet and eager friend, who is looking for his person; someone who will provide ongoing training, structure and exercise. Fin is house trained, neutered and up to date on vaccines.
