Pup of the Month
Meet Finn!
Finn is a laid-back pup with a chill personality and a hilarious collection of quirks. When he's not happily chasing squirrels, you'll likely find him stretched out on the kitchen table for a nap. He's also a bit of a connoisseur—preferring chilled, filtered water—and has somehow decided that ceiling fans, balloons, and even Santa Claus are not to be trusted.
