Pet of the Week
Updated: October 16, 2012 3:04PM
Name: Finley
Species: Dog
Breed: Retriever/Mix
Color: Red
Gender: Male
Age: 2 years
Finley is a medium- to larger-sized dog who is excited about life in general! He’s also a handsome guy with a beautiful reddish coat and a black velvet muzzle. Finley doesn’t appear to have had any training in his previous home so an owner who is committed to providing some of that, along with a crate he can call his own, would put Finley directly on the path to success. Finley gets along well with other dogs and would prefer an active home where he can get lots of exercise and playtime. He can also relax with the best of them so a comfy bed to lay on after a good run would basically be Finley’s idea of Nirvana. If you’ve been looking for a larger breed dog and waiting for spring before adding that companion to your home, the time is now! Finley will have his bags packed in a matter of minutes. He is recommended for homes with children over the age of 10.
