Finn - Golden Retriever and Miniature Poodle Dog Available for Adoption in West Chester, Pennsylvania

Meet Finn!

Finn is a Miniature Poodle/Golden Retriever mix who came into us as a surrender from a commercial breeding facility (aka Puppy Mill).

Finn had a very difficult life before coming to us, being used as a breeder dog his entire life. He is extremely shut down at this time but is slowly starting to learn safety. He will need an adult only home with at least one other dog.

We are confident he will make a wonderful family member for a very lucky family, who understands his past and gives him the time he needs to trust them and his new surroundings.

Adopting a puppy mill survivor is life-changing-for you and them. For these dogs, everything is new and often overwhelming: people, houses, stairs, leashes, food bowls, collars, toys, TVs, ovens, doorways, pavement...the list goes on.

They need adopters who can move slowly, be patient, keep expectations reasonable, and provide the understanding and tools they need to grow into happy, confident companions. Patience, positive reinforcement, and understanding are key!

We promise there is nothing that compares to gaining the love and trust of a puppy mill survivor, but it requires intentional effort and commitment from their new family. With the right guidance, puppy mill survivors can blossom into well-socialized, joyful dog- so our goal is always to ensure every adopter is fully prepared to give them the life and environment they need to truly thrive!
