Hi, I’m Finn!
Right now I’m staying in boarding while I wait for my forever family. I’m doing my best to be brave, but what I really want is a home of my own where I can relax, feel safe, and stay close to my people. I do well with submissive female dogs, but I’m not a match for male dogs or small dogs. I am good with cats, though!
I’m a loyal guardian type who loves having a yard to watch over, and I take that job seriously. I love being outside, but I also really want to be inside with my people. I respect secure fencing, but I’m athletic, so a solid, well-built fence is important for me.
I enjoy going for walks and settle nicely into the rhythm after a few minutes. I walk well on leash, though I may get excited if I see a squirrel or something extra-interesting. I’m generally polite around other dogs on walks if they keep a respectful distance. Loud e-bikes and sirens get my attention — I like to announce them! — but regular people, joggers, and traffic are no big deal to me.
Inside the home, I’m easygoing and well-mannered. I’m fully house-trained and will quietly go to the door when I need to go out. I can be left alone uncrated and won’t bother your things — I mostly relax or nap. I like bones and chew toys, but I can be protective of them around other dogs, so those should be managed carefully in a multi-dog home. With humans, though, I’m nothing but gentle and affectionate.
I’m very food-motivated and I do gobble my meals, so I should be fed separately from other animals. I’m never aggressive with humans — honestly, I’m just thrilled when you hand me my bowl. I love treats (especially chicken jerky!), and because I want so much to please, those treats go a long way in helping me learn. I still need work on formal commands, but I’m smart, and with patience and rewards, I’ll get there.
My favorite moments are the simple ones — leaning against you while you pet me, resting my head on your lap, or getting wrapped up in a towel after the rain while you talk to me. That’s when I feel most connected. I also really like being brushed and will patiently wait while you work through my fluffy coat. I may look big and majestic, but deep down, I’m just a sensitive, loyal boy who loves deeply and bonds strongly.
If you’re looking for a devoted companion — a true guardian with a soft heart — and you have room in your life for a gentle Pyr who wants to belong, I might be the perfect match. I’m ready to love, protect, learn, and finally settle into the forever home I’ve been waiting for.
