Please go to our website at www.milehighlabmission.com to find out more about this pet and to submit an adoption application.
Please DO NOT call or email us; all information about current dogs available, adoption donations, vetting, and this specific dog are on our website.
We are a non-profit organization and we are completely 100% volunteer run.
We DO NOT have a shelter and only approved applicants can make appointments with our foster homes to meet the dogs we have.
Our volunteers will not discuss dogs we have available for adoption UNTIL you have an application on file and are approved to adopt.
General Notes | Want to adopt this dog? Please do not email us. Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP.
Personality | Hello! I'm Finn. If you prefer your dogs the same way you take your coffee - strong, sweet, and cream colored - look no further! I am stunning, I know, but I swear I'm also humble as I am kind. I am a big boy, yes, but don't let my size scare you! I am a lover and just want to be where you are! Much like coffee, I'll be the best start to your day and will keep you motivated, happy, and smiling all day long with me in your home!

Story | I was sadly brought into a high-kill Houston shelter and no one came to claim me. I lucked out, though, as I ended up in CO and have spent time in some amazing foster homes! I'd love to have a family to be a part of, so we can keep writing my story together. If you are feeling like you're missing something in life, maybe that's me? I'd love to meet you to see!
Other Dogs | I play well with other dogs when introduced to them and a new environment slowly. I am a bit of a vocal guy, but it's because I'm so excited about new friends and new places! I was picked on in TX a bit and need to know my humans have my back, so while I love dogs and play time, I need to know I'm safe and will be protected! I can live with other dogs as long as I am introduced properly and you're able to calmly navigate the adjustment period. I had a rough go of things originally and am just a little nervous I'll be given up on again!
Cats | Not sure - I don't know if I've met any!?
Children | Not sure, but I'm up to try with kids that are gentle and know the right boundaries to have and set just like I do!
Training | I'm smart as I am handsome! I am quickly learning basic commands and will sit for a treat. Not to brag, but I learned how to use the doggy door within the first hour of arriving at my foster home - which is kind of a big deal. I don't mind being crated, and enjoy a good car ride now and then! As a bonus, because everyone I've met has such faith in me and cannot understand why on earth I haven't been adopted yet, my new family will get 3 free training sessions with Cosmic Dog Training to help get us all started on the right path together!
Leash | I enjoy going out for walks and am not afraid of a leash. Do I pull a little when excited? Obviously. Can I be corrected easily? Also, yes. I want to please so will look to my human for cues!
Activity Level | Medium. I am a playful, active lab. I will do best in a home with an active lifestyle. I understand when it is time to chill out and enjoy snoozing in a dog bed (or people bed? Could we make that happen!?). I can take on many forms in a given day. One minute I can be lightning fast, splashing in a puddle. The next, I can be found serving as a speed bump in the living room. I do read cues well, but will be my best self when I've been given some good exercise and attention each day!
Health Notes | I am heartworm positive, but, treatment is very successful and completely manageable with all the proper education! MHLRM will cover the expense of treatment at one of our approved veterinarians. Heartworm positive dogs go on to live happy, normal lives after treatment and rarely experience long-term side effects. Don't let this stop you from adopting me - I'm worth taking a chance on, I promise!
Thank you! |
Adoption Donations | Our adoption donations are $475 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year, $425 for 1-6 years, $375 for dogs 7-10 years, and $250 for 11+ years of age. Purebred dogs regardless of age are $525. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, and supplies while in foster care that currently average over $700 per dog).
Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet & greets by appointment to approved applicants only. To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process.
Please know | Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption.
We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page!
We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved. Your application is good for 90 days from the time of approval for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle.
