Posted Breed: Labrador Retriever / Border Collie / Mixed (medium coat). Hi! My name is Finn. My foster mom named me that because Finn means small soldier in Gaelic – and that’s the perfect descripti

on for me! I didn’t have the easiest start in life, so I’m kind of a shy guy now. Despite the fact that my previous experiences tell me not to trust humans, I’m “soldiering” on and coming out of my shell. When my foster mom first got me, I used to hide behind things and run away from people because I was scared. Now, just a few weeks later, I sleep in the bed with her and my two foster siblings every night! I’ve discovered that I love belly rubs, cheese, and I really love to herd my foster mom down the hallway when it’s dinner time. Something about putting my nose to her legs lets her know that I’m hungry! I never met another dog that I didn’t like, and I love to wrestle with my foster siblings. If I could play all the time I would, so I would love to be a part of a household with other pets. But don’t rule me out if you don’t have any animals either, because I’d be a great only dog too. My foster mom has a cat, and while we don’t really play together, we do coexist just fine! I am initially nervous in new places with new people. If you get a chance to meet me, I might be nervous and not get a chance to show you all the amazing personality that I have. That’s okay – my foster mom has plenty of funny videos to show you. I’m also kennel trained. I know when it’s time for me to get in the kennel, so I like to get in the kennel before my foster mom even asks me to, because I’m eager to please! I’m not fully housebroken yet, but I’m working on it, and I’m doing a really good job of having less accidents. My foster mom says that pretty soon I should be fully trained! I’m learning how to walk on a leash. It’s not my favorite thing, because I prefer to run like the wind with no tether, but I’m trying really hard to make my foster mom proud. She tells me I’m doing a good job on our walks! New places and people can make me nervous, so it could take me a few weeks to fully warm up to you after you take me home. But I’m a good boy, and I have a lot of love to give. If you have patience and an open heart, I’ll be your best friend for life.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
