🐾 FINLEY (FORMERLY JIMMY) IS LOOKING FOR A NEW HOME 🐾

Finley, who many of you knew as Jimmy, was adopted in January 2024. Now, due to an international move, his adopters have made the difficult decision to return him to our care.

At the time of adoption, we had an open conversation about the possibility of relocation, and we were reassured he would remain part of their family if they had to move back to Canada… Yes, we are dissapointed and sad…, but our priority now — as always — is finding the right family where Finley will feel at home…

In case you don’t remember his journey…

We rescued Jimmy in November 2023. He was one of the most heartbreaking cases we've seen — severely starved and weighing just 7 kilos (15 lbs). But under the loving care of his foster mum SamiTe, everything changed. With vet care, home-cooked meals, quiet time, and gentle love, Jimmy blossomed.

He doubled his weight to a healthy 15 kg at the time of adoption (he is a bit overweight now). Though he has a slight limp — likely from an old injury — it doesn’t slow him down or dampen his spirit.

So, who is Finley today?

Finley is a wonderful dog… a smart, calm and affectionate boy. He loves his morning walks and gets excited when asked if he’s ready to go. He enjoys an afternoon play session in the yard with his previous housemate dogs and then relaxes quietly near his people.

He’s good with cats and used to play with the family’s cat regularly. He hasn’t spent a lot of time around children, but he’s never shown any reaction to the ones who visited the home.

He’s not a high-energy dog — he prefers staying close to his humans and is happy to nap beside you while you work or read. He’s crate trained, and happily trots into his crate to sleep at night.

Finley is super well baheved indoors, doesn’t get on the couch or the bed, but when it’s time to sit outside, he loves joining his person on a big chair for some quiet companionship.

Finley thrives in calm environments. He’s social with other friendly dogs but doesn’t enjoy noisy street walks — which makes a home with a fenced yard and a gentle playmate the perfect setup for him.

After everything he’s been through, this sweet boy deserves stability and love. If you think you can offer that, we’d love to hear from you.
