Description:
Finnish Spitz Mix Dog for Adoption in Sanford, Florida, 32771 USNickname: Finley *FH* Posted Breed: Finnish Spitz / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 250.00. Finley was surrendered to PRBJ after his owner found himself unable to provide care and attention. He is a friendly, but timid dog. Finley has been through a lot in his short little life and needs time to learn to be a dog. He is looking for a patient owner who will give him plenty of time and space to learn to trust and to come out of his shell. Another dog is recommended but not mandatory, probably one who is more confident than he is who will encourage him. A dog closer to his size would be preferred.. 12.29.23 Foster update. Finley is such a good dog. When he is feeling brave he will go out in the yard and do some zoomies. He is FAST! He also likes chewing on bones and gets very excited at mealtime. Finley prefers being where he feels safe. His crate is one of those places and he will definitely need to have a crate to retreat too. He has a couple of other spots in the house where he likes to hunker down, where he is almost hidden but yet near his people and can know what is going on. His first instincts are to go to one of these spots if he is nervous or worried. While he is mostly good with his housetraining, we do keep a pee pad for him and he knows to use it. Such things as fireworks can set him back from wanting to go outside and he will hide or not move if you try to get him to go out. When he is outside, he needs somebody with him as he can get panicky to go in. 10.23.23 Foster Update. Finley is making progress and spending a good deal of his time out of his crate with the other dogs and even getting curious about people who come over. Not enough to want them to pet him but enough that he will seek them out and his tail is up and even wagging. One of our other fosters is particularly outgoing and has helped him. He has even shown some play mannerisms with her. He has had an occasional accident but he does try to tell you he has to go out. Going in and out of doors is something he is very cautious of. We are encouraged by the noticeable progress he is making and hope he can find the right home to help him continue his progress so he can learn how wonderful it is to be loved! 10.16.23 Foster Update. Finley is such a good boy who is working on coming out of his shell. He has been with us about two weeks and at first did not even want to come out of his crate. With the help of the other dogs in the house, he is starting to gain a bit of bravery and interact more with both them and the hoomans! He is starting to put his tail up instead of between his legs and to greet us. His idea of greeting may not be the same as yours at this time as coming into the same room, wagging his tail and possibly touching your hand is his current greeting BUT we can see that evolving as his confidence grows. He is showing a lot of improvement but will need hoomans who understand it may take him a while to be an interactive member of the family. Much of the time he is not a big fan of being petted but sometimes he will lean on you so we know progress is being made! Not familiar with a Finnish Spitz? Here's some background on the breed: The Finnish Spitz is a lively and alert breed known for its striking appearance and vocal abilities. This dog has been a beloved companion and hunter in Finland for centuries. Its active and energetic nature makes it an excellent choice for active families or individuals seeking a loyal partner. These striking dogs possess a dense, vibrant red-gold double coat, erect ears, and a plumed tail that curls over their back. As a hunting breed, the Finnish Spitz is naturally agile. Its alertness makes it an excellent watchdog, always ready to announce the arrival of any strangers with its characteristic “yodel-like” barks. These vocalizations are one of the breed’s unique features. This breed is known for its strong bond with its family and is highly affectionate and loyal. It enjoys spending time with its human pack members and is generally good with children. Early socialization is essential to ensure the Finnish Spitz develops into a well-adjusted and confident adult. Due to its hunting background, the Finnish Spitz retains a strong prey drive and may have a tendency to chase small animals. It is essential to keep the dog on a leash or in a securely fenced area when outside. Regular exercise is a must to keep its energy levels in check. Long walks, playtime, and mental stimulation are necessary to keep this breed content. As with any breed, early training is crucial for the Finnish Spitz to establish good behavior patterns and respond well to commands. Positive reinforcement methods work best and a patient hand can go a long way.
