My story

Finnegan the great is an interesting mix of what we believe to be a German Shepherd and a Great Pyrenees. Both breeds of valor, bravery, courageous pups and guardians of their homes. Finn is very much a dog that loves to act like he can protect his home and thrives in the presence of his best friends. He is a protector at heart but a chicken outside! Such a funny complex to have in one mind. Finn seems to be afraid of certain loud noises and feels much more comfortable when his foster housemates are out in the yard with him. Finn is an extremely sweet and loving boy that needs praise and guidance on a regular basis.  This pup is playful, bouncy, likes to be out in nature, enjoys spending quality time with his favorite people and is learning to enjoy swimming! Finn would be a great hiking companion and outdoorsy pal. Finn is currently working with a trainer because he is very cautious and wary of strangers. He has tools such as a basket muzzle that help keep him and others safe during stranger interactions. Finn has really developed his skills and is getting more comfortable meeting new people. He would prefer a home that has experience with dogs that are a bit timid of new folks and he would do best in a home with adults. Finn wouldn't mind living with a doggy friend he rather enjoys the company. Finns trainer will extend a program into an adopters home if they would like further help with his care during the adoption process and post. He will make you laugh, smile and will most likely startle off intruders by just being his handsome self! He has learnt many manners and cant wait to impress a family!  Come meet Finnegan today, and let's see if its the perfect match for each other! To ask about Finn, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org. _____   Redemption Road Rescue Rehab Behavioral Dog Adopter Support Program As a rescue specializing in behavioral rehabilitation, we deeply value adopters who open their hearts and homes to our behavioral dogs.
