Handsome and quirky Finney is one super awesome doggie!! He originally was brought up to the SPCA from South Carolina when he was a wee young pup and after spending some time in the shelter, the SPCA staff love him so much but realized that Finney would grow more self confidence in a quieter and more predictable environment. Since our rescue is located on a private horse farm, it was a perfect match! |
Finney learning how to "down"! What a smarty boy!

Finney, a cool mix between an aussie and a border collie and has this luscious light brown merle coat. His eyes are wide and miles deep with so many layers to peel back.. which makes him SO MUCH FUN to work with! The wheels in his head are constantly turning and he learns from each situation he finds himself in. Finney is a sensitive dog.. he picks up on all types of movements and sounds that most other dogs overlook. This sensitivity makes Mr. Finney very attuned to his surroundings but it also makes him very bonded and loyal to his people. It doesn't take long to become one of Finney's trusted human friends... a few positive interactions with a new person and he will show his true super wiggly self!!
When he sees someone he knows and loves, he gives the best greeting!.. tail wagging so hard it may tip him over, paws flopping as he gallops towards you, tongue lolling out of his mouth with the HAPPIEST grin painted on. He really makes you feel special <3 For someone he doesn't quite know yet, Finney will keep his distance, maybe even slink to hide behind his trusted person. Sometimes he'll let out a bark or two to make sure the person knows he's not fully comfy with them in his space bubble yet.
Finney totally and completely adores other dogs.. big, small, male, female... it doesn't matter, he will love them. His best buddy is little Snoop. Those two will play for hours on end. Finney seems to know when to adjust his own intensity to suit his playmate. Finney has absolutly no charge with other dogs and has even befriended some our dogs with a tougher exterior. Because he comes out of his shell so much more with other dogs around, we would like Finney to go to a home with another dog. He also loves kitties too!
Our trainer Jamie has absolutely fallen head over heels for this guy! He is learning so many new commands like sit, down, recall on the long line and look. And he spends the rest of his time doing fun enrichment activities like playgroups, pack walks and he's even learned how to use the treadmill! His self confidence growing by the minute. We are so thrilled to be a part of such a wonderful dogs journey. He truly is something special!
We recommend Finney go to a home with children aged 10 and up.
