Phinneas
Dogs – Let's meet!
Cats – Not a good fit
Kids – Yes, 10 and up
Phinneas is a one-year-old Lab mix with a tail that never stops and a motor to match. He's the friend who's always up for something, whether that's a game of fetch, a jog around the neighborhood, or just trailing you from room to room to see what you're up to. He greets everyone like he's known them forever, and sometimes with his entire body. He's an enthusiastic hugger who's still polishing his manners, so he's looking for a family who thinks teaching a smart young dog is the fun part.
And he is smart. Phinneas already knows sit, he warms up fast with a toy in the mix, and he's got his whole life ahead of him to learn everything you want to show him. An active household with kids 10 and up would be his dream come true, especially one excited to sign him up for training classes and take him on adventures.
Phinneas has a lifetime of fetch to share, and he's hoping you'll be the one to throw the first ball!

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
