FINN - SAINT BERNARD / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Saint Bernard / Mixed (short coat). This dog is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $200 if picked up in TN, $275 plus transport fee for out-of-state adoptions. Local Adoption Only: Finn is a handsome 10-month-old St. Bernard mix weighing about 80 lbs. He came from a shelter so we know nothing of his background. Finn is a shy, insecure boy who compensates with barks and growls to protect himself. He is enrolled in training to help him cope with being uncomfortable with new people and situations. He immediately bonded with his foster mom who gets to see his gentle and goofy demeanor. After some slow introductions, he is doing very well with his trainer as well. TIME and PATIENCE are the keys to doing anything with Finn. It took him quite a long time to learn to get into the car by himself but he has finally mastered that. He finds comfort being in a crate in new places where he can pretend he's invisible. Finn would probably not be a great fit with cats unless they are extremely dog savvy. The resident cat is fine with him but he likes to push the boundaries at times. He has greatly enjoyed playing with other foster dogs but as he matures, he might get more dog selective. Finn is very well housetrained and sleeps quietly all night. He enjoys playing with toys and taking long walks in the morning. While Finn will never be a social butterfly, he is a charming and funny companion for those he has learned to trust. If you have plenty of patience and a quiet lifestyle, Finn might be what you've been looking for. He will do best with a fenced yard to play in and use up some of his energy. While he is not high energy, he is young and playful and enjoys the occasional zoomie. Please use our inquiry form for any further information. Interested in adopting?
