Finnish Spitz Rescue & Rehoming
The Finnish Spitz Club of America cares about the welfare of every Finnish Spitz — not only those bred by our members. When a Finkie needs a new home, for any reason, we're here to help find the right one, without judgment.
Need to rehome a Finnish Spitz?
Life changes, and sometimes keeping a dog is no longer possible. If you can no longer care for your Finnish Spitz, please reach out before surrendering to a shelter — we can help you find a suitable placement and answer questions along the way, at no cost.
Hoping to adopt a rescue?
The Finnish Spitz is a rare breed, so rescues don't come up often — but they do happen. If the breed is a good fit for your home (start with our Is a Finnish Spitz Right for You? guide), we'd be glad to add you to our adopter waiting list.
Dogs currently available
Current status: There are no Finnish Spitz in FSCA rescue at this time. This is good news — it usually means our dogs are staying in loving homes. Please check back, or apply above to join the waiting list so we can reach you the moment a dog becomes available.

How you can help
Rescue runs entirely on volunteers and donations. You can help by offering to foster or transport a dog in transition, or by making a donation to support the club's rescue work. Every dollar goes toward veterinary care, boarding, and safe transport for Finnish Spitz in need.
