Finn is fostered in Hoffman Estates, IL

 Meet Finn! Looking for a sweet, affectionate sidekick with brains, personality, and plenty of love to give? Finn is a handsome almost 3-year-old miniature australian shepherd with a tail,  weighing about 26 pounds and this sweet boy is the perfect combination of playful companion and cuddle buddy. His date of birth is September 15, 2023.

Finn may need a little time to warm up when meeting new people, but once he decides you're one of his people, get ready — he loves with his whole heart. He's a true Velcro pup who loves being near his humans, cuddling up and even handing out the sweetest Finn hugs. 

Finn is house-trained, crate-trained and wonderfully well-mannered in the home. He's food- and toy-motivated, takes treats gently and is eager to please, making him a fun and highly trainable companion. This smart boy even comes with quite the résumé — basic obedience, nosework AND agility!  He would love a human that would continue doing some of these fun things with him.  Finn is SUPER smart and loves to learn! 

He loves his daily walks and is great on leash, but one of Finn's very favorite things is having a canine buddy to play with. He's great with other dogs and LOVES to play, so we think Finn would absolutely thrive in a home with another playful pup who enjoys having a built-in best friend. 

At the end of the day, Finn is looking for someone who will give him a little time to feel comfortable and then happily accept all the affection, loyalty and love this special boy has to give.  If you're looking for a smart, playful, cuddly little shadow to join your family, Finn might just be your guy. 

FInn's MUST HAVES in his forever home: 1. A confident resident dog to be his friend and play pal.  2. A confident active human that understands his needs; positive intros with all new people. 3. A fenced yard for playtime with his 4 legged sibling. 4.  A dog savvy human; Finn is not a dog for a first time dog owner.  

His people should be active, and have herding breed experience and confidence to meet the needs and continue the training he has started.  He would LOVE to be someone's sidekick and go places and do things with them.  He is very true to typical herding breed behaviors and loves to be with his humans, is smart as a whip, east to train, eager to please but can be reserved with new people. He is great with other dogs and even cats.  We recommend no young kids for Finn as they scare him.  Children over 14 and older would be ideal for him. 

Finn is neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped and receiving monthly preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworms.  Proof of heartworm prevention for any current or previous pets is required to adopt from our organization.  For more information on our adoption process or to complete an adoption application, please visit our website at www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org.

NOTE:  All of our dogs live in foster homes with volunteers so we need an approved application on file to set up a meet with a dog you might have an interest in.  Please visit our website for more information on our adoption process, our adoption fees and a link to our adoption application.  We pride ourselves on matches that work for both the dog and your family.  MASR is here for your support, advice and safety net for our dogs for the remainder of their lives.  www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org
