Foster dog name: Finn
Gender: Male
Age: 3 years
Size/Weight: Medium; 49 lbs
Color: Black & White
Breed: English Setter
Good with Children: Older children. May be too active for small children.
Good with Dogs: Yes
Good with Cats: Unknown
House trained: Yes
Crate trained: Yes
Leash trained: Yes, but does pull. Could be corrected with training.
Behavior: Finn is full of energy, but loves to be with people as much as he enjoys being outside and active. He thinks he is a lap dog and enjoys showering affection on everyone he meets. He is curious and likes to explore his surroundings. Finn is learning that there is a difference between his food and the “people” food and is progressing with sitting beside the table when the family is eating. Finn responds well to any training received and ensuring he receives some will make him an even better companion.
Activity Level: Finn is active! He likes to run, is playful; enjoys walks and “hunting” all the birds, squirrels, etc. He does sit quietly when inside and likes to be with the human household members.
Fence: Finn will definitely need to have many forms of exercise, including running, walks, etc. He goes to a dog park with his foster brothers and enjoys playing with the other dogs in this setting.
Medical History: Unknown before entering rescue; is now current with all shots and vet notes that he’s healthy. Because he is from Turkey, where Leishmaniasis is endemic, he was tested negative, but the parasite can remain dormant in the system. Potential adopters must be willing to commit to annual testing for the next 7 years. Your vet can draw the blood and send it to a lab. The test typically costs $120-150 but varies from vet to vet.
Foster Comments: Finn will make someone a wonderful companion. He is learning basic commandments, responds well to correction, and is eager to please and be loved. He is comfortable with basic grooming (eg, brushing, ear cleaning, nail clipping, teeth brushing). Finn has this endearing practice of running around and then he will “check-in” with you and sit to be petted. He would enjoy it most to be in an active home and going on adventures with his furever family.
