ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:

Meet Finnick!!!!!!!!

This boy is nothing but an absolute gentleman. He loves giving kisses, will sit right away for both his food and water. Sleeps all night in his crate with no issues, although I do think he loved his classical music. Listens immediately when asked not to do something or to do something. Really wants to please you and be by your side. Lets my dogs take his toys with no issue, loves following them around and playing. I want to go on the side of medium energy because currently I think my dogs are more high energy than him. He was in a shelter for SEVEN of his NINE months, but like so many rescue dogs is just so grateful for a chance at a normal life. We are getting on a schedule and he really enjoys that when he potties outside he gets a treat. Finnick is on a special food diet that is working wonders for him, he loves the food and it is helping him quiet a bit. He has crystals in his urine but at his last check up he had very little crystals!!! That's right Finnick you are a super star!!! He is nothing next to perfect and anyone that passes him up is missing out on the most loyal and amazing companion you will find.

Finnick is a nine month old pup who came to HT from a rural shelter. Finnick is a 9 month old who has spent his entire life in a cold rural shelter. Potential adopters would inquire about him, but once they hear that he is on a specialized diet for crystals in his urine, they turn away and adopt a different dog. The vet does not know if he will outgrow having crystals in his urine or if this will be a lifelong thing he will have. Until it is resolved, he must eat a specialized diet.
