18. Finley
Young (2 years) · Male · Labrador Retriever (medium coat) · 50 mi from Toledo





Meet Finley-Finn, one of our newest residents at the Mikey & Me Kennels for Happy Days Rescue.
Finn is a 2 year old Black Lab mix and he’s slowly learning that the world can be a safe and exciting place. We are looking to place Finn into a loving Foster home while he continues to embrace his new life. Mikey & Me and Happy Days Rescue will cover all standard expenses while Finn is being fostered.
Read more about Finley
Finn arrived at Mikey & Me in late August and he was afraid to go outside. But he is beginning to overcome this fear with noticeable improvement every day. He came to us underweight but he is gradually gaining weight and feeling better. Thankfully, he tested negative for Heart Worm disease at his first Vet appt. in Dexter.
While he may be reserved with new people at first, Finn’s gentle nature shines through once he begins to feel comfortable. Even with his current level of fear, Finn has never growled, tried to nip, or reacted in any way to any of our 70+ volunteers. Finn does well with other dogs and seems to gain confidence when he has canine companions around. He would likely thrive in a home with another friendly, well-balanced dog who can help show him the ropes and boost his confidence.
Finn is very sweet at heart and just needs patience, kindness, and time to fully open up. In the right home, he has all the potential to grow into a loyal, loving companion who bonds deeply with his person.
If you’re unable to Foster, please consider sharing this post to help Finn find a safe, loving, and quiet home. When he’s ready, his foster family will have the first chance at adopting Finn into their home.

ABOUT CUBERT
Read more about ZZZzzzCubertCourtesy
Cubert was found abandoned on a very very rural road, practically in the middle of nowhere. (Video in comments when we found him) He stayed sitting in the same spot on the side of the road for who knows how long. When we got to him, he was skin and bones, absolutely starving and sad. He smelt like vomit and garbage
Cubert has since turned around completley!!
He has gained 10lbs, is fully vet treated, and is a very happy go lucky boy!! He loves treats, stuffed animal toys & ropes, he likes to play catch, and he LOVES to bury his head in your lap and get all of the lovings in the world. He knows sit, speak and shake but he gets very excited so some times he forgets He is starting to figure out “stay” and “back”.
Cuberts Ideal Home:
~Active household, he would love to go for frequent runs or walks and he loves to play.
~somewhere he can receive all the love and pets in the world
~ a household with no cats or very few cats (although he does okay with them, he does chase when the start to play)
Cubert does GREAT with DOGS and CHILDREN, we have a 17mo old and he does great with her. However, older children would may be better as he is still learning his manners! (He likes to jump up)
Adoption Donation Applies

Adopting a dog in Toledo
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
