In the shelter’s words
~~THIS IS A COURTESY POST. THIS DOG IS **NOT** IN THE CARE OF THE ALTERNATIVE HUMANE SOCIETY. TO LEARN MORE ABOUT FINN PLEASE REACH OUT TO HIS OWNER AT smwaters627@gmail.com THANK YOU~~Finn is a sweet mini aussie/springer spaniel mix born on June 30, 2021. He weighs around 75lb's, is neutered but not up to date on shots. Although Finn is sweet He likes to bark at the neighborhood kids. I believe this is due to his herding instincts. I have taken him to the dog park, which he enjoys tremendously, and seems to do well with multiple other dogs around and even people, but he does bark a lot at people and other dogs getting near his property. We have 2 cats and he likes to herd them. he has never hurt them, only keeps them in line, so dog savvy cats are recommended. I can say he does well around cats and is adaptable around other dogs but don't trust him around smallish children (older kids may be ok). Finn LOVES walks and if you say the word "walk" he holds you to the obligation. His leash makes him jump for joy like a jumping bean!! He loves nature trails and may be ok off leash as long as it's not heavily populated. He LOVES tug of war and stuffed animals but he destroys them in 5 mins or less.Finn is a smart boy and can pick up commands with the right training. FYI he knows how to open the refrigerator! He loves and his protective of his humans. He loves to sleep on his humans’ bed or beside them on the floor. Even though he loves being outside on sunny days he is an indoor dog and likes to be dried off after it rains!
