Finn‘s Story

❤️Finn is Available❤️

Please READ the bio and adoption requirements first to make sure you are a perfect fit BEFORE APPLYING.

Hi, my name is Finn! I am a 2-year-old Cavalier King Charles & Shih Tzu mix and weigh about 27 lbs! I'm the cutest boy and have a beautiful coat with very minimal shedding.

I am cute and cuddly as can be! I love following around my foster dad and being his shadow all day. I get along with my foster fur brother well and love playing with him, but it did take me some time to get comfortable. I do tend to favor one person in the family more than others and can be protective of my favorite human. I mean well, but sometimes I misread the situation and can bark at other members in the household to protect my human. I also bark at larger dogs and strangers when on walks sometimes. I’m working on trust and socialization, and with some more work, I'm confident I'll get the hang of it!

I wake up when my foster parents do, eat breakfast, then it's potty time! I’m very chill when my parents are home, but if they leave, I do get anxious. I sometimes whine and have even knocked down indoor and outdoor barriers or been destructive out of fear/anxiety. I'd love a stay-at-home parent, and if you leave for short periods, I need to be secured for my safety. I love walks and get so excited when I see my leash! At bed time, I'll snuggle up in my crate or on the floor next to you.

I'm still working on my trust, socialization, and guarding since I am very protective of my favorite person. I may need professional training. I am also working on not jumping on the couch and bed. I understand I shouldn't do it but will still test my limits when people aren't looking. I need parents who will give me all the love and will help me work through some of my training needs.
