Finn

Lover of Life and Hogger of Attention – that’s our Finn. Good-natured, social, exuberant, goofy and fun, this boy wants to live it up all the time. He loves being in the world and all the things that go with it. One of his favorite things? Jumping! Parkour, anyone? (sometimes the parkour wall is you, but we are working on that…)

Finn looks like a sturdy Labrador Retriever (and acts like a circus performer) but he actually has 17 other breeds in him including Shar Pei (well, only 1%). He is a true mixed breed, which is maybe why he carries so much zest for life, he is representing many tribes!  His original owners surrendered him to a shelter in Massachusetts for this very zest for life where he caught the eye of a local trainer who volunteered at the shelter. He alsonoticed his love of toys and high energy and knew just the place to place him! That’s when he came to us. Well, that zest for life is also what is keeping him from a career in disaster search and rescue because he just loves everything and wants to do it all.

This good boy is smart, funny and willing, even if he needs some work on his parkouring off the people he loves. He has done wonderfully with other dogs in play group, always seeking connection with all the dogs he meets and tolerant of those who are rude or rowdy.

Where do we see this attention-seeking, rowdy clown blossoming? With an active partner who will keep him busy, but also have the patience to help him learn. He is very athletic and could excel in a sport if coached with some patience (see above about parkour and zest for life…) He loves dogs and people, so would enjoy an outgoing social life (although young kids are a probably not, because he expresses his zest for life with jumping and some mouthiness.)

Finn has the potential to keep you on your toes as well as in stitches (the laughing kind), not to mention enlarging the capacity of your heart for love with his attention thrown back on you.
