FINN

Finn is an approximately 16 month old 45 pound male Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix who is looking for an active adventurous home! This boy is handsome, clever, and quite a canine athlete! Finn came to Angels as an owner turn in with his sister Posey. He has had a pretty transient life, and is ready for some stability and structure. While he is definitely in need of some basic training, this is a very smart boy who is ready and willing to learn. He is very treat motivated, meaning he will absolutely work for food. We are told that he has been crated in the past, and has a decent grasp of house training. This does not mean he won’t have accidents! This boy has been through a lot of changes, so he absolutely needs someone who will have patience with him. He hasn’t had a ton of leash training, but he is getting better and better, and we continue to work on it! We do not know how Finn is with kids, but he would probably do best with slightly older ones - 8 and over. This is simply because this bouncy boy can sometimes forget how high he bounced! He has lived with other dogs, male and female, and was reported to have done well with them. As always, a meet and greet with any resident canines would be required. He has not been around cats, but should do okay with some guidance and dog savvy cats. Finn’s possibilities are endless. He is brilliant, highly trainable, very athletic, and always ready for an adventure. Finn is DEFINITELY NOT a couch potato. He needs exercise and activity. He needs for someone to care enough to cater to his mind, body, and soul. He would do best with a fence, but we will consider homes with and without, factoring in the individual situations. This dog could absolutely participate in things like agility, flyball, obedience etc. Even just for fun instead of for titles. Frankly, he won’t know the difference - all he will know is that he’s having a fabulous time with his new very fabulous human!
