💛 Who Finn Is

🐾 Age: 2 years old
⚖️ Weight: 37 lbs
🐕 Breed: Pittie mix
💖 Personality: Playful, affectionate, energetic, initially shy
🏡 Home style: Active, structured, experienced dog owner
🐶 Dog status: Must be the only pet

Finn is the kind of dog who doesn’t give his heart away instantly—but when he does, he gives it fully. He bonds strongly with his people and thrives in a home where he feels safe and understood.

🎾 His Personality in a Nutshell

Once comfortable, Finn is:

• 🛋️ Cuddly and people-focused
• ⚡ Zoomie-prone and full of joyful energy
• 💞 Deeply affectionate with his trusted humans
• 🧠 Smart and responsive with consistency
• 🐾 Loyal and attachment-driven

He just needs a little time to show all of it.

🌿 What He Needs to Thrive

Finn would do best in:

• An experienced, dog-savvy home
• An active lifestyle with daily exercise
• A calm, structured environment
• A single-pet household where he doesn’t have to share attention
• A patient adopter willing to let trust develop naturally

He’s not a “rush in and instantly bond” dog—but he is a “worth the wait” dog.

🏡 Important Notes

• 📍 Meet-and-greet is by appointment only
• 🐕 Must be the only pet in the home
• 💬 Benefits from slow introductions and consistency

Finn does best when he knows what to expect—and who to expect it from.

💫 The Bottom Line

Finn isn’t for everyone, and that’s intentional. He’s looking for someone who understands that shy beginnings can still lead to deeply loyal, joyful companionship.

Once he trusts you, he doesn’t just join your life—he sticks close to it.

If you’re patient, active, and experienced, Finn might just be your next best friend.
