Finnegan in Scotch Plains, NJ

Here is Finnegan with his new family…

Meet Finnegan, aka “Finny-winny.” Finnegan is an active, sweet, handsome, 1-year-old, Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who came into rescue because his family felt it was in his best interest to be a part of a more active family.

Finnegan absolutely loves to run and enjoys his new fenced in yard in foster care so a fenced yard for this boy is a must. He always has a toy in his mouth – the ball is his absolute favorite. While he loves to be active, he also loves to snuggle on the couch with his person.

Finnegan walks well on leash and is working on focusing on his person during the walk. He loves to greet everyone and anyone, as his favorite thing is to get attention from people. He is very dog friendly with dogs similar in size, however he is a bit timid with dogs that are bigger than him. He loves his foster brother, Mac and they play regularly. While not a requirement, he would benefit from a housemate who loves to play with him.

Finnegan has learned to respect the cats in his foster family’s home and would likely do okay in a house with cats but may take some time to learn to leave them be.

Finnegan is very well kennel trained and his kennel is his safe space. He will occasionally growl when handled in his kennel but will happily come out when asked. We are working on him becoming more trusting of handling him while in his kennel with positive reinforcement.

Finnegan came into foster care a bit skinny and not interested in food. After switching him to a special veterinary diet, his appetite significantly improved, and he was able to gain some weight. He will need to continue this diet for life and will be limited on what treats he can have. However, now that he has found a food that doesn’t upset his stomach, he loves his food and has good food motivation.

Finnegan otherwise has a clean bill of health. He is up to date on vaccines and microchipped, neutered and fully housetrained.

Lastly, Finnegan is such a sweet boy who just wants to play and be loved. If you think Finnegan would be a good addition to your family, please let us know.
