About Finn

This animal is available to licensed rescue groups only. Please do not enquire unless with a licensed rescue group. Finn is a 15-month-old, intact, unregistered Belgian Malinois weighing in at #63 pounds. He's chipped and current with vaccination's/flea meds. Finn isn't taking any prescription medications or supplements. Currently no know allergies. Finn is a healthy, energetic growing puppy. Finn is currently unlicensed. Finn joined his family when he was 14 weeks old. This is the only home he's been in. Finn is a curious guy and still learning about the world around him. Sometimes he will alert to people walking down the street behind his house. Some barking inside the house which his family is working on. Finn is good with fireworks if you have some background noise, he'll settle in. He started basic training as soon as he was brought home. Finn is food motivated and knows his name, sit, shake, lie down, side, center, stay, drop it and just started to work on wait and recall. Finn is potty trained and crate trained and comfortable in his crate when his humans are out and about. At night, Finn enjoys snuggling on the couch and hanging out with his family. At bedtime he tends to sleep on his bed in the bedroom. Finn successfully shares a house with cats, human parents and one grad school human sister. Finn feasts on Purina Pro Plan for large breed, salmon and rice. He also enjoys apples, carrots and sweet potatoes. He is slowly growing his palette of people food. Finn is an easy goer for taking a bath. With a loaded lickiMat to keep him busy, bathing him is a piece of cake. So far Finn does great on a leash. There's excitement when gearing up and as the walk goes, he settles into a rhythm. He loves walking day or night regardless of the weather. Finn loves to chew, so his family provides all types of things he can enjoy. From time to time, he gets excited and digs in the back yard. Finn likes riding with his dad in the pickup. He has the whole back bench to stretch out on. Finn has met both female and male dogs with no issues. He has not been introduced to an intact male. Finn is cautious about new people when they enter the home. His dad regularly leashes him to give him the opportunity to calm down and prevent jumping. He and his dad have been diligently training with greeting new people. He met the grandchildren of the family briefly. Finn hasn't been bitten by another dog, but he has been charged by dogs who are off leash. Finn in a loving, playful puppy. He loves learning and he's quick to perform in order to get that treat. Like all puppies, he loves to play. Whether it's tug, running after his herding ball or just running around with a simple Chuckit ball in his mouth. Finn's also a snuggler and enjoys being with his family. As Finn grows, we are noticing more and more that he is sensitive when new people touch his head, make direct eye contact and linger too long in his space. He snapped at a few extended family members (no contact) and recently bit the human's daughter (in her 20's) on the lip which required 6 stitches. We'd like Finn to be adopted into a family with no small children. We hope to have someone who is familiar with this breed and his sensitivity. Because we are still learning about Finn, we don't want to take a chance of him biting another person of any age. Finn is not muzzle trained. Vet records are available. Finn has equipment/supplies/toys that could be sent along to his new home and possibly offset the cost from adopting.
