My name is Finn John Wayne, but you can call me Finn. Life hasn't always been easy for me. I started my summer working with a professional dog trainer and am finally ready for my forever home, and I do hope it’s with you! Like the original John Wayne, I love adventure. Whether it's swimming, chasing after squirrels, or going for a car ride—I love being in the action! My favorite thing in the entire world is water. I can splash and play all day!

​

I'm a good boy inside and will stay near my human or am content in my crate. I am not the biggest cuddler. While my energy levels are moderate-high, I can get really really excited when I see something I can chase. I am a reactive dog with a high prey drive, which means I go after every squirrel or bird I can get my paws on! I'll need a family that can keep my leash skills fresh. With the right collar and harness, I have already made great improvements! I have an impressive jumping ability, a few times reaching 6 feet up a tree in search of backyards critters! For this reason, I'd be most comfortable in a house that doesn't have small dogs, cats or other small animals to taunt me. I am very friendly with other dogs my size or bigger and I play with a lot of heart!

​

I LOVE scatter feeding for mental stimulation and a 15-20 min walk keeps me physically settled. I am looking for a family who will continue to work with me on my training so I can be my best self! Are you the one for me?
