Personality | Finn is a playful sweetheart who loves cuddles and toys. He can be a bit shy when meeting new people and in new situations, but he learns quickly and is very affectionate once he gets to know you! He is ready to build a rewarding companionship with a kind and patient family who will help him build his confidence! He's a sweet, Velcro dog who thrives on being near his humans! Story | Finn was found in Houston, TX with his 2 brothers as a puppy. He was adopted last year, but recently found himself back at the rescue. His adopter was an older lady and Finn was proving difficult for her to handle. MHLM wanted to set this sweet boy up for success so he was immediately enrolled in a 4 week board and train with a trusted trainer to give him the skills needed to thrive in a new home. Other Dogs | Finn is good with other dogs and loves to play! Cats | Butter has not been cat tested yet. Children | Finn is a big, excitable boy and may do better in a home with older kiddos. He hasn't really been around very young kids much, so the rescue isn't sure how he'd do with little babies. Training | Butter completed 4 weeks at a board and train to get all the skills to be the best pup he can be! His training will come with 3 sessions with the trainer to best prepare him and his adopters for his new him! He was a very shy boy who pulled and barked on a leash, so his board and train was done to help build his confidence and help him learn how to walk well on a leash. He'll do best with a family who can give him good boundaries, structure and can help him continue to build his confidence. He's such a good boy and deserves the best life! Leash | He previously had some leash reactivity and went to board and train to help him build his skills. He gets really nervous in new situations and his trainer thinks he was reacting because of his uncertainty and fear. With a firm owner to lead him, he does just fine on the leash! Activity Level | Moderate/high. He loves to play! Health Notes | Healthy and happy pup!
