Meet Finnegan! A Timid Soul Looking for His Forever Family.
Finnegan is a sweet, shy boy who is ready to find his perfect match. At just 10-12 months old, he has already faced challenges that most dogs shouldn't have to endure. After being extremely timid and constantly overlooked, he was at high risk at an overcrowded Ontario shelter. But his story didn’t end there and his current fosters saw the potential in him and took a chance, giving him the opportunity he deserved.
Now in a foster home, Finnegan is still working on building trust, especially with men. His fosters are committed to helping him overcome his fears, but he will need an adopter who understands that trust takes time. While he is currently nervous around new people, he has a lot of love to give once he feels comfortable and safe. A quiet, patient household would be ideal, one without young children, where he can gradually come out of his shell.
Finnegan’s does well with other dogs, and we believe he would thrive with another canine companion to play and interact with. He is high-energy and loves to play, so another well-rounded dog in the home would be a great fit. He is also cat-friendly, currently living with one in his foster home!
Despite his fears with humans, Finnegan has proven to be a good boy. He is house-trained, crate-trained, and knows basic commands. He’s a quick learner and just needs someone to show him patience and love. He currently barks at the man in the house out of fear, but this is something his fosters are working on with him. With time and a gentle approach, Finnegan will become the loving companion he so desperately wants to be.
Are you the patient, understanding adopter who can give Finnegan the time and care he needs to blossom into the wonderful dog he’s meant to be? If you’re willing to work through his trust issues and offer him a peaceful, loving environment, Finnegan could be your loyal companion for years to come.
Finnegan is ready to find his forever home. Could it be with you?
