About Finn

Finn is all about action and curiosity. He needs daily, focused exercise and plenty of mental stimulation to match his energy. Crate trained and house trained, Finn has made big strides in confidence, but still takes a little time to trust new faces and other dogs. That trust deepens day by day, though, and he follows a helpful procedure for meeting new people and dogs—future adopters are encouraged to stick with this routine, and ongoing support will be available. Finn thrives with structure, boundaries, and a calm environment. He’ll do best with a non-dominant canine companion if other dogs are present. Homes with small children or cats aren’t the right fit, given his trust issues and prey drive. Structured discipline allows Finn to settle and shine. If you can provide a steady routine and patience, Finn’s loyalty and progress will reward you in return. Your new best friend is just one click away.
