Finn

There's something so special about rescuing a dog who needs you. Meet Finn! Finn is believed to be about 2 years old and is 58 lbs.<br/><br/>Finn is a stunning Greater Swiss Mountain Dog / Bernese Mountain Dog mix according to the Texas vets. We do not DNA test rescue dogs, but he certainly looks the part!<br/><br/>We rescued Finn from euthanasia in a high-kill shelter in Houston, and he is now thriving in his foster home in Boulder.<br/><br/>From Finn’s foster:<br/>“Finn is fun!! He has young dog energy and is very playful. Loves to play with us and our dog. He does great with our dog. He does need to eat separately because he does not like to share his food with us or our dog. I figure that’s just from living on the streets and having to scavenge for his food!<br/>He walks well on leash (gets a bit excited and could use a bit of training, as he is just a young guy), he sleeps in his crate at night, and hasn’t had any potty accidents (or marking!) in the house!<br/>He is very young and puppy like and needs someone who understands he needs some basic training, but he’s a love bug!!”<br/><br/>Finn has a stunning coat that has been compromised by the harsh conditions of a high-kill Texas shelter. His coloring is gorgeous, the darkest black mixed in with beautiful chestnut colors throughout his coat. Finn (like all dogs) will require a lifelong commitment to periodic baths / brushing and excellent nutrition. A 5 star dog food and daily salmon oil supplement are great choices for hair care and longevity to keep Finn's coat cottony-soft and shining with good health.<br/><br/>Current research is very clear that the best diet we can provide for our pets is a fresh, human grade diet. Farfel's recommends Chi Diet (chidog.com) due to our personal experience with our own dogs. It's one of the most important choices we make for our dogs great health and longevity.<br/><br/>Finn is a young, healthy dog who will love a kind and respectful dog-crazy family with all his heart. He would also enjoy another gentle dog to play with and then to lie together in the sunshine enjoying a beautiful day. Finn will also do really well as on only dog. He's a quieter guy who gets overlooked because he never causes any problems and tends to stay in the background away from the chaos of the shelter.<br/><br/>Farfel's Rescue would like to see Finn in a home where he'll get consistent mental stimulation, exercise and tons of loving hugs. A positive reinforcement / force free group training class promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence for a young guy whose self-esteem will fly high while he masters his skills. Farfel's feels so strongly about training for all dogs that we're unwilling to adopt to a family who doesn't choose to give Finn this opportunity. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved positive reinforcement / force free trainers in your area.<br/><br/>We're currently searching for a very loving, nurturing and committed family for our wonderful Finn. Applications are being accepted for this loyal and devoted best friend and can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit.<br/><br/>**PLEASE NOTE** Farfel's Rescue makes many efforts to place our dogs with families that are excellent matches. We do this through our Farfel's Rescue application found at the link above or at farfels.com (never through rescue site apps such as Adoptapet or Petfinder as they don't provide enough information). If you're truly interested in adopting Finn please be sure to fill out the Farfel's Rescue adoption application. It's the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving guy. We're sorry, but in many cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit a Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.
