My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Approximate Age: 1-2 years
Approximate Weight: 11.6 lbs

Meet Finn!
- Great with other dogs
- Very untrusting initially, but with food and time will warm up. Having a dog friend to take cues from also helps this process.
- Once he trusts you he is a velcro dog
- Will resource guard his person, but will course correct when placed on the floor
- Would do best in a patient house with older or no kids, and a main caregiver who is home a lot.
- Seems to prefer females over males
