Fin is an 8-month-old, 45-pound pup who came to us on a transport from another rescue and is still learning that the world can be a safe place. Shelter life has been overwhelming for him, and he’s understandably shy right now. Fin is looking for a calm, patient home where his people understand canine body language and are willing to respect his need for personal space as he builds confidence.
One of the best ways to Fin’s heart is through food—he’s very food motivated, which will be a huge help as he learns to trust. Because he can be sensitive, we recommend a home with older children, and any younger kids would need to meet him prior to adoption. Fin does best when things move at his pace, with gentle encouragement rather than pressure.
Fin finds a lot of comfort in other dogs and often looks to them for reassurance, so we strongly recommend a home with a friendly, confident canine companion. His adopters should be prepared to give him time, consistency, and plenty of positive experiences to help him come out of his shell. Positive reinforcement training classes are highly encouraged and will be a wonderful way for Fin to gain confidence and strengthen his bond with his new family.
He is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines and preventatives. If you have further questions, please call the shelter at (517) 626-6060 or email our adoption staff at adoptions@AdoptLansing.org.

Public visiting hours at the CAHS Shelter are 12-7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturday. No appointment necessary. Adoption profiles must be started 15 minutes before close.
It is important to bring any children in the house with you to meet potential pets. We also recommend that all family members be present for an adoption. This will help ensure that the potential pet is the best possible fit for everyone in your family!
What to Bring
Government-issued ID
Cash or a credit card to pay for your adoption fee(s) and optional supplies
A carrier for your adopted cat or a leash and collar for your adopted dog. These items are available for sale at the CAHS Shelter if you do not own them.
About the Adoption
Please plan for approximately an hour to complete your adoption. If the shelter is busy, it could take longer. You will be asked to complete a one-page profile and then an Adoption Counselor will meet with you to discuss your pet(s) of interest.
Animals go home at the time of adoption. Adoption Counselors invest time with you to make sure you’re fully informed before you leave and have all the resources you need to introduce your new pet(s) into your home.
After the Adoption
About a week after you adopt, a CAHS Adoption Counselor will follow-up with you to see how things are going and offer assistance should you need it.
Please note, CAHS does not offer refunds on adoption fees. We encourage you to call regarding any difficulties you have. We have many resources available to help make your adoption a successful match.
We’re glad you’ve decided to adopt a shelter pet!
