Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Update, 11/14: Finn has been in our care for several months, and is very happy in his foster home with several other dogs. He recently went on a break/vacation and was in respite care with another foster family. Here were her observations when she hosted him for a week:  “Finn is a lovely companion who thoroughly enjoys slow, quiet days. He happily relaxes loose or in his crate, but would really love a comfy dog bed all to himself.” It was good to have honesty in her assessment: she also added: “The only issue I had with him was that he peed a few times in the house. Once was because I overslept; the others were just learning that potty rules apply to all buildings.” Finn is a 10-1/2 year-old Australian Shepherd. He had been used for breeding and had no opportunity to socialize much. He really does love quiet and security, and is enjoying daily supplements  to help take care of his stiff joints.  He is currently housed in a family with adults, but handled having toddlers nearby temporarily. To find an application to adopt please go here: https://www.friendsofcampbellcounty.org/info/adopt       FINN loves foster care, as he can come and go from his crate when he is ready, and hang in the back yard with the resident dogs if he so chooses. What a great transition for this senior boy! Perfectly housetrained, too! His foster mom says he has really come into his own, and is feeling the love at last!  He did meet a toddler last week and was not at all comfortable with the quick movements of the child, so we recommend a home with no kids, or one where there are older children who are respectful of needy seniors.   **************** Finn is making such good progress since he arrived at the shelter as an unkempt, neglected owned dog who had been purchased for breeding, but was no longer useful to his owner. He is one of the most appreciative dogs we know, But he is still a work in progress, because he is so timid and distrustful of new things. This is a dog who has not been well-socialized, but wants desperately to be a dog friend to somebody. He has been relying on his companion, also surrendered, a female who is pushy and very dominating, for confidence and leadership. we wonder if they were supposed to be a breeding pair, but were not productive which is why perhaps they were both given up at the same time. After a few days in a home while he recovered from his neuter, Finn appears to not have a clue about house training, so that will be a work in progress for his new family. Finn also did not have a name when he came to us so it’s still learning that his name is a sign of affection rather than disdain. He was so badly mad he could barely move when he came in, so he is really enjoying the opportunity now to stretch his legs, and move around freely with no mats holding him back. he seems receptive to other dogs, and has not been introduced to cats yet. He has been tested for heartworm, and is neutered, and is ready to be placed in just the right home.   PLEASE NOTE: This pet has been posted by Friends of Campbell County Animal Control, Rustburg, VA.
