FINN has been doing pretty well in his foster home with a houseful of dogs since his rescue from having spent 4 months on his own in the wilds of British Columbia on 17August. He spent his first week in the home, giving him time to destress and to bond with his foster family. Since then he has gone on many outings. He initially walked on leash, then progressed to dragging a long line and wearing a Garmin DC40 tracking dog collar and is now extremely reliable off-leash. FINN's time with his foster family has made him feel safe and secure and part of the pack. FINN is 1 1/2 years of age, has an easy to care for rough coat, weighs in at 32 pounds, is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. FINN has a dominant, territorial personality. He will strike out at members of his dog pack if they get too close to his foster mom. Because of this bad behavior, he is monitored closely and his foster mom will step in and defuse the situation before it happens. It would be best for FINN to be an only dog. FINN needs an experienced dog handler, one who not only understands the importance of being the Pack Leader but can demonstrate. Because of his alpha personality, FINN is never allowed on the bed with his human, is never higher than his human and is never allowed to make the rules. FINN's first month in his new foster home was difficult but with clear, consistent, fair rules, his "snarky" behaviors have decreased dramatically. FINN crates well, is crated at night and while in the minivan. He is not destructive, inside or outside the house. He, along with his male foster doggy buddies, have taken to marking in the house. He, along with the other markers, wears a male dog diaper while inside. FINN is a delightful young boy who enjoys his human, has bonded with his foster family and has no desire to become lost and alone again. He is excellent off-leash, does not wander while on a hike in the woods and loves to run and play. FINN is a medium energy boy who needs daily exercise. He can easily keep up with the rest of his pack during a romp in a field or a several mile mountain bike ride in the woods. FINN is SPDR affiliated with an an adoption donation of $150.00. For further information about FINN, please fill out an easy on-line adoption application then contact his foster mom, Vivian, at eliottd2002@yahoo.com. THANK YOU FOR THINKING RESCUE FIRST! |
