Meet Our Tails Family: Finn
Meet Rachel and Finn! Rachel, and her boyfriend Drew have lived in Hoboken for 4 years and have been pawrents to Finn for one year. Finn was adopted from Muddy Paws Rescue in NYC and it was love at first sight. Rachel and Drew didn’t know what type of dog they would end up with but when they saw Finn’s puppy photo on their website, they knew they had to have him.
How Finn Got His Name
Rachel had always wanted to name her first dog Finn so when she adopted him, she knew what his name would be right away. Most people think it’s short for Finley or Finnegan when they meet him, but it’s actually short for Finster. Luckily Drew was on board with this name, as well!
The most rewarding thing about being a pet owner
The unconditional love and bond Rachel and Drew share with Finn. He is always there to go on an adventure with them, comfort them if they have had a bad day or cuddle with them on the couch. He is such a huge part of their family and they can’t imagine life without him.
The hardest thing about being a pet owner
The discipline it takes to train Finn on how to behave in their home, with other people and other dogs. It’s hard to be firm with him when he is so cute!
