Finch Fleetfoot may only weigh 11 pounds, but this tiny boy has enough sweetness and personality packed into his little body to make everyone around him smile. With the long, delicate legs of a miniature Greyhound, the most precious floppy Chihuahua ears, and a happy little prance that makes him look like a baby deer, he is almost too cute to be real. The best part is that he is every bit as loving as he is adorable. Once this little angel decides you are his person, prepare to have a permanent shadow, lap warmer, and tiny best friend following you everywhere you go. Watch his video and fall in love with those floppy ears and baby deer zoomies: Finch is approximately 4 months old and currently weighs around 11 pounds. We believe he may be a Chihuahua and Italian Greyhound mix, but with animal rescue, breed and age are always a mystery and our best guesses. Whatever combination created those long little legs, floppy ears, and precious face, his DNA is clearly the perfect mixture of all the right things. Finch absolutely adores his people. He may take a minute to warm up to someone new, but once he decides he loves you, there is no getting him off of you. He wants to curl up in your lap, walk directly behind you like a tiny shadow, and remain as close to you as physically possible. If you have ever dreamed of having a small dog who would happily climb right into your skin if given the opportunity, Finch is your guy. He is such a dear little soul and has so much love to give the people who earn his trust. Finch is dog friendly and has spent time around dogs with a wide variety of sizes, energy levels, and personalities. Because he is such a little guy, larger dogs can sometimes feel a bit spooky to him at first. If a big, energetic dog immediately rushes over and wants to become best friends, Finch may offer a quick correction to let them know he needs a little more time and personal space. Once he realizes they are safe, he relaxes and will happily romp around with the bigger dogs. However, he is not necessarily searching for a large, rambunctious playmate. Finch appears most comfortable around dogs closer to his own size, which is completely understandable when nearly everyone else looks like a giant from his perspective. Finch also met our house cat, Biggie, and handled the introduction wonderfully. He was calm and respectful, did not attempt to chase him, and was not bothered by Biggie jumping around or doing normal cat things. Biggie felt comfortable around Finch as well. We do not know whether Finch has ever lived with a cat before, and this was our first time seeing him interact with one. If you have a cat in your home, we can arrange for Finch to have a sleepover with a cat upon request. Just let us know! This smart little guy is crate trained and generally comfortable relaxing in his crate. He is also working on his potty training, and from what we have seen so far, he is beginning to understand where the appropriate potty places are. He loves treats, is eager to please, and already knows how to sit. Finch naturally likes to pop up on his back legs and show off, so we think he would be an adorable little student for tricks like “sit pretty” or “dance.” With a few treats and plenty of praise, this boy will be ready to impress everyone he meets. One of the cutest things about Finch is watching him get the zoomies. With those extra-long legs and tiny body, he looks like a baby deer frolicking around as he happily zips from one side of the room to the other. Thankfully, his zoomies come in miniature bursts. He is generally quiet, is not bouncing off the walls with energy, and settles beautifully when it is time to curl up beside his people. Finch could thrive in an apartment or a home with a backyard. He does not need a huge amount of space or constant entertainment to be happy. He simply wants a safe home, plenty of love, and people who will let him stay close. Whether he is trotting behind you on those tiny stilts, curling up in your lap, or showing off his hilarious baby deer zoomies, Finch has the kind of personality that will keep you smiling every single day. This sweet little angel is ready to become someone’s most devoted companion, and once he loves you, he will love you with absolutely everything he has.
