Shelter Sunday: Special Needs Finley / New Digs for Dogs Rescue / North Haverhill, NH
Meet Finley! This beautiful girl has some very special needs, but I’m confident there’s a very special family out there somewhere for her. Here’s what her rescuers have to say about her:
Finley is 3 years old and about 45 pounds. She is a mixed breed.
Finley came to us a very fearful puppy. We have done a ton of work with her, but she is afraid of almost everything. She is jumpy at loud noises, like if you drop something.
She is ok with us, but even after years of trying, she is still very afraid of strangers.
Finley is a big barker. She barks at the neighbors, she barks anytime she is afraid of something.
The time she is most at ease is when she is playing with the other dogs.
I know it is a stretch that she will find the right home, but maybe one is out there. Continue reading Shelter Sunday: Special Needs Finley / New Digs for Dogs Rescue / North Haverhill, NH

Shelter Sunday: Amazing News from New Brunswick, Canada
If you haven’t figured it out, I choose a place to feature each Sunday by going alphabetically through a list of US states and Canadian territories / provinces. Today it was New Brunswick’s turn, and this has never happened before in the almost 14 years I’ve been writing this blog. There are NO dogs listed for adoption on Petfinder in the entire province! Zip. Nada. None.
(Lots of cats, though, if you’re interested.)
Woohoo!!!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
