Plenty of Pets
Finn is a nine-year-old poodle mix who would like to be in a home where he’s the only pet.
He enjoys walking, swimming and playing ball, and needs a fenced in yard. He’s not comfortable around children, but loves to get lots of attention from adults. He likes to be with someone who is happy to have him share the couch with them, and sleep on the bed at night.
He’ll sit, down, turn and roll over when asked, especially if there’s a treat involved.
Finn is a little nervous and loud noises sometimes scare him, so a quiet household, where someone is home most of the time, would be best.
Finn weighs 25 – 30 pounds, and is up to date on vaccines and parasite prevention medication.
He’s an adoptable with ElderDog. If you’re interested in having Finn join your family, contact Tanya at [email protected]
