Are you old enough to remember Mr. Ed the talking horse? Finley isn’t fluent in English like Mr. Ed, but he is a talker. His greeting isn’t just a happy face and wagging tail, it’s also a “wooooo” that is sure to make you smile.
HISTORY: Finley was dumped at an overcrowded shelter in Kentucky and put into a crate too small for him to stand up in. A local foster-based rescue pulled him. He spent two months with his foster family while they got to know him and to put on some needed weight then they contacted Mastiffs to Mutts Rescue to find him the perfect home.
Finley is a one-year-old male Great Dane mix. Due to his age, he is not neutered and will not be for another six months, minimum.
PERSONALITY: Finley is at the most wonderful age; old enough to be potty trained and young enough to be a puppy. A 115-pound puppy. He is happy, calm, friendly, playful and cuddly. He easily goes into his crate to eat and sleep but prefers to be with his housemates, both canine and human. His eyes are expressive, and his “wooooo” will clear up any confusion on how he is feeling. You’ll smile every time you hear it which will make his tail way even harder.
FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Finley enjoys playing with his Great Dane foster sister followed by a relaxing antler gnawing session or a nap. He really enjoys people and is very curious about anything that’s happening around him. Butt scratches, ear rubs and chilling with his family are also highlights of his day.
MEDICAL ISSUES: Finley will need to be neutered at 18 months or after.
WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: Finley looks like an adult, but he is a puppy and needs to be treated and trained as a puppy. He does not have social graces around other animals, so any animals already in the house will need to be comfortable with a large puppy. As for Finley, he loves to meet new dogs and will immediately ask them to play. Because of his calm, friendly nature Finley would be good for a family new to having a giant breed dog in their home. He’d love to have children or dogs to play with, but he’d be just as happy with adults.
