Finnegan, meet everyone. Everyone, meet Finnegan!
This charming lad is looking for his forever person. Finnegan is approx. 1.5 years of age. Like so many foster pups, his young life was awful. But, as fate would have it, on a cold day, a kind person spotted him on the streets, picked him up, bought him a sweater, and brought him to Hopewell animal control. Luckily, someone from Ring Dog Rescue saw him, and he came home to get healthy.
You see, Finnegan was not healthy. His body mass was 1.5 (1 being the worst); he had pressure sores on his hips. His white fur was stained yellow, and his skin was in bad condition. He didn't weigh much more than 20 pounds. So, Finnegan began his road to recovery. He received special creams to heal the pressure sores and was fed carefully so he could gain weight slowly.
A couple of weeks later, Finnegan moved into a new foster home, where he continued to heal. In less than a month, he doubled his weight, the sores healed. And he learned to be a dog. Toys are the best things (okay, second best, just behind food and treats). He continues to work on his manners in his crate. He gets fussy but only because he wants to be with his foster family. He can get excited and jump around; he's learning proper manners. He is house trained and lets you know if he needs to go outside. Once outside, he loves to run and bounce. At mealtime he gets super excited, so he's working hard to keep calm. He loves to relax in the evenings and nap on the couch while snuggling with his humans.
If you're making resolutions that include being more active, exploring the outdoors, and adding a pup to your life, Finnegan will be the perfect fit. While he hasn't met too many pups, he could do well with a well-established, balanced older pup brother or sister to teach him the ropes. Because of his energy level, he wouldn't do well in a home with small children (older children, who can handle his energy level, would be okay). Because of his fussiness in crates and his level of energy, a home with a fenced in yard (or long, active walks) would be a perfect fit. He doesn't live with any cats.
Finnegan is ready to begin again.
