My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Let`s get one thing straight: Finley is not a service dog.
He was sold as one on Facebook — and yes, we know — but Finley has opinions about sheep, suspicious feelings about strangers, and absolutely zero interest in your emotional support paperwork. He is, however, a genuinely wonderful dog who deserved better than a transaction built on false promises.
Now that we`ve cleared that up, allow us to introduce the real Finley.
He`s a one-year-old Border Collie mix with a medium build, movie-star good looks, and a heart full of loyalty — once he decides you`ve earned it. He warms up on his own timeline (respect it, and you`ll have a friend for life). He`s remarkably tolerant of other dogs and gets along well with fellow pets.
Finley needs a home that gets herding dogs — the intensity, the intelligence, the occasional side-eye. For that reason, we`re looking for kids 12 and up only.
If you want a smart, handsome, soulful dog who just needs the right people to finally see him for who he actually is — Finley is your guy.
