About Finch

Finch is a handsome, intelligent, and energetic Miniature Australian Shepherd who is over 2 years old and ready to find his forever family. This blue-eyed boy is a bit of a smarty-pants and thrives when his brain is engaged with training and new challenges. He previously went through a 2-week board and train program, where he received excellent remarks. Finch was rehomed because his previous environment didn't quite meet his high-energy needs, and he's now looking for a family that can keep up with his active lifestyle. He enjoys playing in the kiddie pool and has shown a friendly curiosity towards goats.

Ideal Home

Finch needs a home experienced with herding breeds and a handler who can provide consistent training and mental stimulation. He can be a bit much for cats due to his playful excitability. While he gets along with other dogs, he can be assertive if a confrontation arises, so he would do best as the only dog in the home or with a very submissive canine companion.

Ongoing Health

Finch is a neutered male and has been genetically health tested with no known health issues. He will come up-to-date on vaccinations and deworming, and will have received a thorough vet check before going home.

Training & Support

Finch is house, leash, and crate trained. He excels at learning new commands and would be a fantastic candidate for activities like obedience, agility, rally, or scent work. He benefits greatly from engaging his mind and needs an outlet for his intelligence and energy to prevent mischief.
