My story

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

Meet Finn: Your Adventure Buddy in a Pint-Sized Package!

Finn is a 6-month-old Yorkie mix with a heart full of love and an impressive set of skills. Currently, he is 8lbs. He should weigh between 10-20 lbs as an adult.

This little guy has "soul dog" potential. Finn loves people so much that he literally leaps into your arms, and we’re starting to think he might have kangaroo genes with how high he can jump!

Finn's the ultimate playmate, excelling at fetch (he’ll bring the ball back and drop it at your feet!) and tug-of-war. If you don’t feel like going for a hike or a run, a good game of fetch will tire him out.

Finn’s love is boundless, but he does come with a few quirks. He’s mouthy which means he uses his mouth to demand attention. This will improve with training and as he grows out of the velociraptor stage of puppyhood, but right now, Finn isn’t suited to a home with small children. Finn also struggles with some separation anxiety and will make his displeasure known if left alone.

Finn would thrive in a home where he can be with his people most of the time, and with a family who will work on training as you would with any puppy. Training will help Finn with his separation issues.

Finn loves to play with other dogs and is still learning proper manners. However, he can be a bit of an annoying young whippersnapper, especially to older or more laid-back dogs, so he’d do best as an only dog or with playful canine companions.

Potty training is still a work in progress, but Finn is smart and eager to learn, so consistency and patience will go a long way.

Finn would make a great match for an active adopter looking for a small but mighty companion. He loves hikes, runs, and even errands, happily riding along in a backpack carrier. If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic pup to join your adventures and keep you laughing, Finn is ready to leap into your life (and your arms)!

Finn is neutered, microchipped and current on vaccines.

Grateful Dogs Rescue incurs substantial veterinary and other expenses in rescuing our dogs. In order to recoup some of these costs, we request a tax-deductible donation for each adoption. The suggested donation for FINN is $500.

If you are interested in adopting FINN, please complete our online adoption application at https://www.gratefuldogsrescue.org/adoption-process/ . One of our volunteers will get back to you. Adoptions are local, confined to the SF Bay Area.

Additional adoption info

The Grateful Dogs Rescue adoption procedure is designed to find a good match between the dog and adopter. Our goal is a happy foster to forever transition. The adoption procedure includes an application, interview, home check, and an adoption donation. The adoption donation helps to cover spay/neuter, shots and other medical care given before the dog is made available for adoption.

More about this rescue

Grateful Dogs Rescue was founded in 1990; its mission is to rescue dogs not made available for adoption at San Francisco Animal Care and Control, and other local shelters, through no fault of their own. Rather than letting these dogs be euthanized, Grateful Dogs saves as many as possible by fostering these dogs in a loving home until a forever loving home is found.

Grateful Dogs Rescue is always in need of new foster homes!  You can make a difference by fostering. The number of dogs we can save is dependent on having foster parents to care for them until they find their forever homes. All of our dogs are in foster care.
