Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi there! My name is Finn. I know I look more like an 11-lb. Leo the Lion right now but my foster mom didn’t want to give me the obvious name. Someone dumped me and 11 other dogs in crates at a local shelter’s night drop. Since I was matted and not too clean, the shelter people shaved me down. When Dusty Paws Rescue took me in I got groomed professionally – now I am a lion… hear me roar!!
Actually I’m on the timid side, maybe they gave me the lion haircut to give me confidence? I’m shy with strangers but I perk up when there are dogs around. I think most children are pretty ok too. I’d like to be in a home with other dogs or with someone who is not gone all day.
I went for a long walk with my foster mom on one of the trails at Lake Chabot. I didn't pull on the leash but I did think the bicyclists and runners were a little scary so I stopped and lay down as they passed. Considering that it was all new to me I think I did pretty well. In the home I’m a good boy. I’ve been doing all my business outside. I have to admit my foster mom has been really good about making sure I go outside, but she's also observed me going out on my own and is very proud of me. I don't mark in the house, which I hear is a big plus.
I hope you want to meet me!
