Finn

Description

Finn is a 3-year-old, 50 lb merle Poodle mix who is every bit as handsome as he is sweet. He was brought to the shelter alongside several other Poodle mixes covered in dirty, severely matted fur. Much of his coat had to be shaved off, but we know those curls will be growing back in no time, and his foster mom is already completely obsessed with this good-looking guy! And Finn’s first night in foster? Literally could not have been easier. He went potty outside, settled into his crate around 11 PM with just one bark, slept quietly through the entire night, and waited until morning to go outside again. No accidents! Now that he’s getting comfortable, his personality is starting to shine. Finn has begun playing with stuffed toys, but his absolute favorite thing is a blanket, he loves carrying one around and holding it in his mouth. He’s a total Velcro dog who just wants to be near his people, happily says hello to everyone he meets on walks, and seems to have a special love for little dogs. Finn has plenty of fun, puppy-like energy and LOVES his walks through Central Park. He even gets the zoomies and looks like he wants to join the runners, so we think he could make an amazing  adventure buddy! After a good 2-3 mile walk, though, he’s perfectly happy to pass out for a couple of hours. He’s also one smart (and hilariously particular) boy. He can somehow find a pill hidden in just about anything, and when dinner is served, he’ll meticulously pick out the good stuff and leave individual pieces of kibble behind.  His foster mom describes him best: “He’s an absolute gentle giant, and if it were the right time for me to adopt, I would pick Finn in a heartbeat, and I’m picky, so that says a lot!” Finn has already shown us what an incredibly loving, easygoing and special dog he is. Now this handsome boy just needs the forever home that gets to call him theirs. He is great with dogs, had interacted fine in his cat test at the shelter (wanted to play and nudge and sometimes lost interest) and was vetted and neutred at the shelter.
