Meet Finn! 🐶🧠 Finn is a stunning little powerhouse — a Miniature Australian Shepherd, possibly mixed with Shetland Sheepdog — weighing about 30–35 pounds of intelligence, drive, and heart. This boy is extremely smart and very food motivated, which makes training both fun and effective. Finn already knows an impressive list of commands including sit, down, crawl, and shake, and he’s eager to keep learning. He would absolutely thrive as a working, sport, or agility dog where his quick mind and athletic ability can really shine. Finn is potty trained, crate trained, and kennel trained, and he walks nicely on a leash. He is non-reactive to other dogs while out on walks and can coexist just fine. In playgroup settings, he’s had a few moments that were easily redirected, but because of that, we believe he would do best as an only dog in the home (cats could be just fine!), or in a setting where interactions are structured and supervised. Like many herding breeds, Finn does best with clear leadership, mental stimulation, and purpose. He bonds closely with his people and will flourish in a home that understands the needs of a smart, driven dog. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick who’s ready to learn, work, and impress you daily — Finn might just be your perfect match. Finn will come with a collar, leash, toy, two food bowls, some food, and a copy of all his medical and microchip information. His adoption fee of $400 is tax-deductible and includes his neuter, vaccines, heartworm testing and treatment, and microchip.
