Pasado’s Safe Haven took in Finnegan after he was in danger of being euthanized at a municipal shelter due to a host of medical issues. He was abandoned after years of possible neglect including the accidental ingestion of hard drugs, including opiates and meth.
Finnegan is also visibly “wobbly” on his paws. After receiving a full health evaluation, including neurological specialists and an MRI, it was discovered that Finnegan has a congenital abnormality of the cerebellum (the part of the brain that controls motor function) making it smaller than normal. While there is no treatment, our team has worked hard to get him adjusted to life obstacle-free. We very quickly began seeing the happy, loving dog that he is. He licks our faces during vet visits, he wags his tail so hard he wears padding to prevent injury, and he shows us nothing but love and affection despite his difficult past. With patience and love, we see a bright future for this wonderful dog.
We are so grateful to be able to rescue animal like Finnegan, when we are their last hope at a second chance of life. Thanks to our generous supporters, we are able to respond when animals need us most.
