MEET ME ON SATURDAY AT PETCO! 🐾❤
Meet Finn at Petco on Saturday, March 7th from 1-4 pm CST at Petco, 377 W. Jackson St #11 Cookeville, TN 38501.

Finn is a big, sensitive sweetheart who has politely requested a ladies-only household to help him feel his very best. This one-year-old Saint Bernard Mastiff mix weighs around 100 pounds and, once he feels safe and settled, is a playful, medium-energy dog with a soft, marshmallow personality. In a calm and familiar environment, Finn relaxes into a gentle, goofy companion who enjoys playtime and quiet moments alike. One of his cutest habits is carrying around his oversized knotted rope toy like a prized treasure, proudly trotting from room to room with it in his mouth. Finn loves food of all kinds and food is truly the way to his heart, which also makes him very responsive to training. Finn is fully housetrained and crate trained and settles quietly in his crate, though he prefers chew safe bedding since he enjoys nibbling on softer items. He walks very nicely on leash and enjoys long, relaxed walks rather than running. Finn loves playing with other dogs and would thrive with a friendly canine companion to help him feel secure. He is polite and curious around cats and does best with slow, thoughtful introductions.

Finn is a very timid boy in new situations and around unfamiliar people, especially men. When he feels overwhelmed, he may bark, growl, tremble, or try to hide, which are all fear based responses rather than aggression. With patience, consistency, and a gentle routine, Finn settles in and shows his affectionate, loyal nature. A quiet, women-only home with a securely fenced yard and at least one friendly dog would be the ideal match for him. If you think Finn could be the gentle giant your home has been waiting for, please contact us for more information.

Finn has been loved this past year. Really, truly loved - by two different foster families who opened their homes and their hearts to him while he waited for his own.

But love without permanence has its limits.

He's about 100 pounds of sweetness that just takes a some time to unlock. When he's scared, he trembles. He'll bark, back away, maybe try to disappear into the corner. He's not aggressive — he's terrified. Because the world has felt big and unpredictable, and no one has been able to show him yet that it can stop changing.

That's what a forever home does. It stops the world from changing.

When Finn trusts you, he melts completely. That dog — the one who finally exhales and leans into you — is in there. He just needs someone who isn't temporary.

Two more days until his one-year mark. Please share his story.
