FINNICK - SHEPHERD / COLLIE / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Shepherd / Collie / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 300.00. Finnick acts much younger than his estimated age of 2—think closer to 1—with all the fun (and chaos) of a big puppy. He’s rough and rowdy in play, with lots of chasing, jumping, and goofy antics. He absolutely loves toys—he’ll even toss balls to himself! He plays great with other dogs, though his play style is definitely high-energy. He’s clearly had some training before. Finnick already knows several commands, is food motivated (takes treats gently!), and is very trainable with kibble. On leash, he walks beautifully by himself. He does pull more when walking with a dog buddy, but we’re working on that! He’s shown no reactivity on leash outside and seems to have potential to be cat-friendly (we’ll update when tested!). A horse test is also in the works. So far, he’s been happy and excited to meet most people. At the shelter, he had kids climbing all over him and loved every second—he might just need a little help learning how to control his lanky limbs around smaller kids. Speaking of that lank—Finnick can jump. A tall fence or leash walks are ideal. He hasn’t tried to escape, but he’s definitely got the springs if he wanted to. Finnick is sweet, silly, and absolutely adorable. With a little structure and continued training, we think he’s the kind of dog who could go anywhere with you, no problem. He’s got the heart, the brains, and definitely the looks—just look at that face!
