History: We received a plea to help an adorable litter of puppies who arrived to rescue with the help of Lightshine Rescue whose efforts are focused on a rural reservation in South Dakota where resources are low.
A Note from the Foster: Finnian is a sweet and playful puppy. He has soft chocolate brown fur with beautiful markings and unique green eyes.
He loves to run around outside and play with toys. His favorite places to nap are in a lap or in a nice patch of sun coming in from the window.
He does great in his kennel. He goes in quietly and quickly curls up for a nap. He is not very vocal. Foster mom has only heard him bark a couple of times.
He is working on potty training and is doing great. He goes outside right away and if he does have to go in the home, he always goes on his potty pads. He is also working on ‘come’ and ‘sit’. He is smart and very food motivated, which makes training easy!
He has been good with dogs, cats, and kids.
Finnian is thriving in his foster home and is ready to find a forever family of his own!
Adoption Fee: $760 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
