About Finley DD

Meet Finley!This handsome 60-pound Doodle is looking for the forever home he's always deserved.Finley is searching for a patient, loving family where he can finally feel safe, learn to trust, and discover what it truly means to be loved. With a little time and kindness, this sweet boy is sure to become a loyal best friend.Could you be the one to give Finley his happily ever after? Meet Finley. When we were asked to help, we expected a small Shih Tzu. Instead... A 60-pound doodle walked through the clinic doors. Or rather... underneath all that neglected hair. As the veterinary team carefully shaved away months (or longer) of painful matting, they made a heartbreaking discovery... His harness was buried beneath the coat. It had become part of the tangled mess. No dog should have to live like that.Today, Finley has a fresh start. He's feeling a little confused. A little scared. Everything in his world has changed in just a few hours. But even through it all... He's been gentle. He's been kind. And everyone who has met him believes the same thing: Finley is going to be an incredible dog. He just needs someone willing to show him what love, comfort, and safety feel like. Finley is looking for a foster or forever home. Help us show him that the rest of his story will be nothing like the beginning.
