Hello friends! My name is Finnegan and I am ready as ever to find my forever family. My previous owners were moving and unable to take me with, for that I am super bummed... BUT! I spent some time in a foster with an awesome friend who helped me keep up on my manners. I am ALL puppy! I am an active pooch. I love to play, roll around in the grass, splash in the water, explore anything that comes my way, and just love on my people. Yes, I am a leaner and a hugger. I am so incredibly sweet and the biggest loveable lug around! I am a super smart dude, love to please, super outgoing, and a belly rub lover. I know sit, down, come, and I am working on relaxing on a mat and my leash manners. For my future home, I will need a dog experienced household and a home with no cats please. I like other dog friends and sometimes I can be too excited, so more socializing and training is a must for me! Let's become the best of buds :)
My adoption includes a consultation, training, and help transitioning me (Finny) to my new home with a certified professional trainer!
