Story
Adoption Fee: $475
When available, all animals are fixed in accordance with Colorado law, up to date on vaccines (may need boosters), and microchipped!
What we know: adopted as a puppy, returned for food/resource guarding as a concern with small children in the home. Loves to play with other dogs; shouldn't be fed with other dogs in the home. Appears under-weight but is eating six cups of food per day.
From the foster: Meet Finn – The Gentle Giant with the Giant Heart! 🤍🐾
If you've been dreaming of a big, fluffy best friend who will make you laugh every day and happily snuggle beside you every evening, meet Finn!
Finn is a 2½-year-old Great Pyrenees mix weighing about 90 pounds. He has the gorgeous fluffy coat you'd expect from a Pyr mix—which also means he sheds. (A good vacuum is a worthwhile investment!)
Finn is the definition of a lovable goofball. He proudly carries his favorite stuffed toy around the house—and even takes it outside with him. He loves to cuddle on the couch, enjoys a good game of fetch, and is happiest just hanging out with his people. Everything about Finn is BIG...his paws, his personality, his appetite, his water bowl, his poop piles, and most importantly, his heart.
Finn is incredibly people-oriented and eager to please. He's smart, food motivated, and learns quickly, making him a wonderful dog to train. He's crate trained and walks beautifully on leash. On walks, Finn is happy to ignore people and dogs that ignore him, making outings enjoyable and relaxed.
Finn's Ideal Home
🏡 A home with a fenced yard and room to stretch his long legs. While he enjoys relaxing inside, he also appreciates having space to explore and move around. A home with acreage or a large yard would be a wonderful bonus.
❤️ A family looking for a loyal companion and willing to continue his training.
🐓 No cats, chickens, rabbits, or other small animals. Finn has a strong prey drive and needs a home without small pets.
👧 Finn previously lived with children and has always been gentle with them. However, he quickly learned that little hands often deliver tasty snacks! Because of his size and enthusiasm for food, interactions with young children should always be supervised, especially during mealtime and snack time.
