Description

Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd (long coat). FINN loves foster care, as he can come and go from his crate when he is ready, and hang in the back yard with the resident dogs if he so chooses. What a great transition for this senior boy! Perfectly housetrained, too! Finn is making such good progress since he arrived at the shelter as an unkempt, neglected owned dog who had been purchased for breeding, but was no longer useful to his owner. He is one of the most appreciative dogs we know, But he is still a work in progress, because he is so timid and distrustful of new things. This is a dog who has not been well-socialized, but wants desperately to be a dog friend to somebody. He has been relying on his companion, also surrendered, a female who is pushy and very dominating, for confidence and leadership. we wonder if they were supposed to be a breeding pair, but were not productive which is why perhaps they were both given up at the same time. After a few days in a home while he recovered from his neuter, Finn appears to not have a clue about house training, so that will be a work in progress for his new family. Finn also did not have a name when he came to us so it’s still learning that his name is a sign of affection rather than disdain. He was so badly mad he could barely move when he came in, so he is really enjoying the opportunity now to stretch his legs, and move around freely with no mats holding him back. he seems receptive to other dogs, and has not been introduced to cats yet. He has been tested for heartworm, and is neutered, and is ready to be placed in just the right home. PLEASE NOTE: This pet has been posted by Friends of Campbell County Animal Control, Rustburg, VA.
