The Scituate Animal of Massachusetts recently introduced a 10-month-old lab named Finn who they describe as "the worlds biggest goofball". The local animal shelter explains that Finn "comes with some quirks but from what we've seen, is overall a friendly and goofy lab puppy". His friendly nature extends to his potential canine companions. In fact, the shelter believes it would be "hugely beneficial for Finn to live with a playful, larger dog so he can get some of his energy out appropriately."
