Meet Finny! This adorable german shepherd mix is ready to find her family. She is a playful, energetic and cuddly pup, that will be a great addition to just about any family.
Finny is a very typical, 3 month old puppy. She loves to play and explore outside and try to make friends with the kitty. She is sweet, affectionate and very interested in getting lots of attention from her people.
She spends her days practicing crate training, playing in the yard with her foster siblings and emptying out the toy box. She loves meal times and sits nice before we put her bowl down. She plays hard and crashes hard after lots of playtime. After a busy day of playing, she loves to snuggle near the humans and other pups as the evening winds down.
Finny does pretty well with potty training if you keep her on a schedule. She goes outside right away after being let out of the crate, naps or bouts of heavy playtime. She does still have accidents though so she will need to be watched closely. She is used to being crated throughout the day with several breaks. She is usually crated for a couple hours at a time and then gets a 20-30 minute break to get her wiggles out. Right now she is crated out of sight from me when I work with but within earshot so she can still hear me. Overnight she is crated across the bedroom from me. She does hold her potty pretty well overnight but occasionally will still need a break.
Finny is a pretty friendly pup and is interested in checking new people out pretty much right away. She doesn't have kids in her foster home but she is still busy growing teeth and is a mouthy girl so she would need supervision with really young kids until she learns those boundaries.
She currently has three other pups in her foster home; two adult dogs and another puppy about her same age. She plays mostly with the other puppy in her foster home. She gets excited for time with the adult pups but she can be a little in the face and needs some help remembering to give them some space. Overall she is pretty submissive with the older pups and she does take correction from them pretty well. She would do great either with or without another doggo in her forever home.
Finny does have a kitty in her foster home. She is interested in the kitty and tries to play/chase with the cat. Based on my observations, I think she could live with a cat but would need supervised interaction and some correction from both felines and humans so she can learn those boundaries.
Finny gets most of her energy out playing with the other pups in her home. She loves wrestling and playing chase. She is a medium energy gal that likes long naps after play time. She does ok on leash but walks like a typical puppy so will need some practice. She gets distracted easily and likes to people watch so she needs some encouragement to keep walking. She does well in the car (crated) and settles in fairly quickly for the ride.
Finny hasn't been left alone too often but when we do leave, she needs to be crated as she is still very much a puppy. She will chew on cords, shoes, scraps on the floor, etc so will need to be closely monitored.
We have loved having this sweet, affectionate pup with us and know she will charm her forever family quickly!
