Meet Finnick!
ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Finnick has been living in the shelter system since he was only 8 weeks old.
Finnick is shy around new people and takes a while to feel comfortable. He needs a home that will give him the time he needs to feel comfortable. Patience and treats go a long way towards making this boy your new best friend.
Finnick would do best with an experienced dog owner who is willing to take the time to help him settle in. He’s a happy, friendly boy, who just deserves a chance!
ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 55 lbs
KNOWN WITH DOGS: Finnick isn’t great at making dog friends, so any introductions should be done slowly, however he is good on a leash and can go on walks with other dogs as long as he has space. Finnick can be a resource guarder, so he should be the only dog in the home.
KNOWN WITH CATS: We do not currently know how they are with cats. If that is needed, let us know and we'll work on getting that information!
KNOWN WITH KIDS: Would be best with children over 10 as he can move quickly when excited and possibly knock a child down by mistake.
KNOWN COMMANDS: Sit, down, place, spin, paw, look, and he gives kisses on command too.
KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING &/OR CRATING: He is house trained, and crate trained.
KNOWN LIKES: Treats. Exercise. Mental and physical exercise, rolling around on grass
KNOWN DISLIKES: Living with other dogs.
