Finch - Toy Fox Terrier Dog for Adoption in St. Petersburg, Florida

LOS ANGELES, CA — FINCH IS LOOKING FOR HIS FOREVER HOME!

Finch is a 5-year-old Fox Terrier mix who was rescued from East Valley Shelter in Los Angeles just moments before he was scheduled to be euthanized.

Finch had been placed on the euthanasia list after being reported to have severe arthritis that could require surgery, along with an inability to walk using his back legs. With such a concerning medical report, nobody stepped up for this sweet boy. But we couldn't let his life end without giving him a chance.

And we are SO glad we did!

Once Finch was safely in our care, we discovered that his arthritis was nowhere near as severe as originally reported. In fact, this little guy can even RUN when he gets excited! He is currently on joint supplements and shows no apparent signs of pain or difficulty getting around.

But Finch's journey hasn't just been about physical healing. He's also been learning that he is safe, loved, and will never be abandoned again. He's been working through separation anxiety rooted in his fear of abandonment, and he has made wonderful progress!

Finch is an incredibly smart boy who loves his humans and wants nothing more than to make them happy. He's eager to learn, responds beautifully to guidance, and continues to grow more confident and brave every single day.

He's also wonderful with other dogs and cat approved! He's learning to socialize, explore the world, and trust that good things are ahead of him.

Finch has already overcome so much, and watching his little personality blossom has been such a gift. He deserves a family who will continue showing him patience, love, and reassurance as he discovers just how wonderful life can be.

Finch survived the euthanasia list, and now it's time for him to experience the best chapter of his life — a forever home.

Finch can't wait to meet his forever family in California!
