Finn

My story

All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, shots current (DHPP, Bordetella and Rabies where applicable), dewormed, flea and tick treated, and microchipped.  * If you are interested in a dog, please first read the biography on the dog (keep scrolling down for the bio!) and then go to our website, www.dpsrescue.com for an application. Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Adoption Fee: $700 Looking for a Sidekick to Keep Up With You? Meet Finn!   If your dream dog is smart, athletic, goofy, and loyal to the core — congratulations, you just found him! Finn is a 2 year old Mini Australian Shepherd (with a full-sized heart!) who weighs in at a perfect 35 pounds. He’s on the hunt for an active, outdoorsy, and dog-savvy home where he can put all his brains and energy to good use.   Finn’s days are filled with adventure — whether it’s trotting alongside you on the trails, playing epic games of backyard tag (figure eights are his specialty), or showing off his impressive list of tricks. He’s incredibly intelligent and loves learning, especially when treats are involved. Sit, roll over, weave through your legs? He’s got it down. With the right guidance, Finn could easily be your future agility dog, hiking buddy, or even the star of your neighborhood's next dog show. He doesn’t just want a job; he needs a job to feel happy and fulfilled.   Finn is wonderful with other dogs he knows and is happy to share his home and heart with doggy friends. Like many young herding breeds, he’s energetic and full of enthusiasm — sometimes too much for a simple stroll around the block! On leash, he can be reactive to dogs and people passing by, barking and pulling with excitement. However, he’s been working hard on his manners and will thrive with a confident, experienced person who can continue to lead him with calm guidance. If you love a good training challenge and believe in bringing out the best in your dog, Finn is ready to meet you halfway (especially if you have treats).   At home, Finn is a total sweetheart. He’s house-trained, respectful of your belongings, and happiest when he’s close to his people — sleeping at your feet, supervising your activities, or doing a quick zoomie in the yard just to celebrate life. He would love a fenced yard to burn off some energy daily and a human who shares his love of movement, learning, and fun.   Finn is not a dog for a first-time owner, but for the right person — someone who knows that a brilliant, active dog needs more than a couple of walks a day — he’s an absolute gem. If you're ready for a loyal sidekick who’ll make you laugh, keep you moving, and reward your efforts with endless love and devotion, Finn is ready to be your next great adventure.April 26, 2025, 7:00 am
