Meet Finn! This adorable little guy was found wandering as a stray and taken in by a Good Samaritan who reached out to our rescue for help. He was covered in fleas and had some hair loss from itching, but was otherwise in good shape - a young, healthy boy just needing some TLC.
Finn is currently being fostered with Jula and her crew of two dogs and two cats. At only 10 lbs, he’s the smallest member of the pack, but that doesn’t stop him. He loves wrestling and playing chase with the bigger dogs, and he’s respectful and gentle with the kitties.
Overall, Finn is adjusting wonderfully to home life. His potty training has come a long way, and he’s mastered the doggy door. He’s a medium-energy adolescent: playful and active, but learning how to relax inside and settle at bedtime. He’s crate-trained and is crated when left alone. He’s still young and occasionally gets into mischief, like chewing on his foster mom’s favorite flip-flops.
Finn is very food-motivated and eats quickly. He’d happily help himself to the other dogs’ meals, but he responds well to verbal correction and minds well. He’s snuggly and loves burrowing under blankets and will curl up against you when you sit down. At night, he sleeps soundly tucked under the covers next to his foster mom or curled above her head like a kitty.
This little guy is social, confident, and very people-oriented. He sticks close, enjoys being with his humans, and shows affection in his own sweet way. He’s becoming even cuddlier as he settles in. His skin has healed beautifully, his coat is filling in, and he’s blossoming into the adorable companion he was meant to be.
Finn is an all-around wonderful little dog who will make an amazing companion and pack member. Coming to the DC metro area on 12/6.

Thank you for considering adoption and choosing to save a dog’s life!
Adding a dog to your family is a rewarding and life-changing experience. Dogs enrich our lives and have the amazing ability to give and receive love unconditionally. They can be your loyal companion and friend, and a watchful playmate for your kids, but they are also a serious, long-term commitment. They will depend on you for their health and well-being, and require an investment of love, time, and money for the rest of their life.
As you search for your new dog, please remember that there is no shortage of dogs who need saving. There are far more dogs waiting to be adopted than people who are willing to adopt them, so if the dog in the picture who you’ve imagined bringing home isn’t available, there are thousands more amazing, loving dogs just hoping for the chance to be your dog. We ask that you keep an open mind, stay flexible, and we will do our best to work with you to find a great match for your family.
We strongly encourage anyone thinking about adopting a dog to do your research and make sure you are prepared for the commitment. If you have thought about what’s required and are ready to adopt, here’s what you can expect when you apply to adopt a dog from Worthy Dog Rescue.
Worthy Dog Rescue cannot guarantee that the dog you apply for will be available once you have been approved. We do our best to work with adopters and meet your needs, but we do not adopt dogs on a first-come, first-serve basis. All applications are screened to determine the most suitable match for the dog and the adopter. We want to place dogs in good homes as quickly as possible, so the dog can start their new life with their family, and we can free up their foster home to save another dog in need.
We understand how easy it is to become attached to a dog you’ve found online, but sometimes the dog you apply for may already be scheduled to meet another adopter, or it may not be the best fit for your home for a variety of behavioral reasons. Our dogs are fostered by one of our volunteers, living in their home as part of their family. This allows us to get to know the dog, what they need, their level of socialization, and the type of home that will best suit them.
Our goal is to place dogs in loving, responsible, and committed permanent homes. We take great care in finding good matches for our dogs and adopters too. We look forward to working with you to find the dog that will be with you and your family for many years to come.
