Finn

Meet Finn, a bright and affectionate one-and-a-half-year-old Chihuahua from Peoria, AZ, whose essence is a pocket-sized bundle of love wrapped in a tan-and-white coat and a whole lot of personality!

Finn may be small—just around 12 pounds—but his heart is huge, and his love for people and other animals knows no bounds. This little guy is as clingy as they come (in the best way), always wanting to be near his favorite humans. Whether it’s following you around the house, curling up by your feet, or giving you those soulful eyes from across the room, Finn just wants to be part of your world!

He’s playful, sweet-natured, and gets along wonderfully with kids, other dogs, and even cats—yep, this guy is a true social butterfly! He loves chasing after balls, nibbling on soft fabric toys, and curling up for crate time when it’s time to relax. Finn is crate trained and finds comfort in his own little space when left alone for short periods, making him a great fit for families who may need to step out during the day.

Now, like many young pups, Finn is still mastering a few things—namely, barking and pottying indoors. Apartment life hasn’t been his favorite, and he would thrive in a home with a fenced yard and maybe even a doggy door where he can stretch his legs and have more potty-time freedom. He’s smart, knows basic cues like his name, “come,” and “stop,” and with some patience and positive reinforcement, he’s sure to catch on quickly.

Loud noises can startle him (think clapping or other sharp sounds), but once he feels secure, his gentle, happy nature shines. Finn is neutered, vaccinated, and medium energy, which means he’ll happily enjoy playtime and fetch but is just as down for a cozy cuddle session.

Are you ready to welcome a pint-sized sidekick who’ll never leave your side and fill your home with tail wags and affection? Reach out today and learn more about Finn!
