Fionn (meaning brave in Irish) is a ten year old Wheaton Terrier who was left out in the cold, tied to a stake with a rope too short to reach his dog house, hence he was seized by the animal control folks for having no shelter. He was severely matted, so much so that he could not go to the bathroom. No dog deserves to live like he has been forced to live for God knows how long. Thank God our rescue angels have taken him in where he now enjoys a warm bed and some good food.

Fionn may have lost his eyes, but now that he is no longer in pain he's reclaimed his puppyhood. His favorite pastimes include playing chew-heads with his one-year-old foster brother, Rocky (Save a Dog alumnus, October '03), gnawing on raw hide bones, exploring the back yard, barking wildly along with the other dogs when someone rings a doorbell on television, and of course snuggling up to his foster mom for a good belly scratch (his). Once Fionn learned not to jump off the couch onto his sleeping 11 year old foster brother who is also blind, they became fast friends and now like to lie next to each other when they chew bones. He would do well as an only dog if he wasn't left alone for long periods of time; another dog would be great if the dog was very submissive as Fionn is very vulnerable, not having either the temperament or physical ability to protect himself.

A huge thank you to the following supporters who have donated to Fionn's medical bills.
