Fynn Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler Amherst, MA

Meet Fynn!

A spirited adult Australian Cattle Dog from Philadelphia, PA, whose essence is a vibrant burst of joy wrapped in a luxuriously red-mottled coat. Although Fynn's age is unknown he is believed to be at least five-years-old. Fynn's captivating smile and his playful, high-energy demeanor are sure to brighten anyone's day! Despite the bustling city life, Fynn has made significant progress in adapting, but he's now looking for a forever home that can offer the tranquility and space he truly needs to thrive.

Fynn is a medium-sized, 50 pound fellow making him just the right size for a good cuddle session on the couch! He's a constant companion who loves engaging in training, play, and snuggling. Fynn has a particular fondness for toys with squeakers, playing fetch, chase games with a flirt-pole, and going on adventurous hikes. He is well-trained and knows a plethora of commands including sit, down, stay, touch, look at me, and go to your place, showcasing his eagerness to please and intelligence!

Fynn's life in the city has been challenging due to his substantial anxiety, especially around body handling and strangers in the home. Despite this, with the help of a dedicated professional care team, he has made great strides in acclimating to his environment. However, the noise and crowds still trigger his anxiety, making a quieter, more spacious suburban or rural setting ideal for him.

When left alone for short periods, Fynn is perfectly content, exhibiting no issues. He's house-trained, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations. Currently, Fynn is on a regimen of Gabapentin and Fluoxetine (Prozac) to manage his anxiety, but this might not be necessary in a calmer environment where he can feel more at ease.

Fynn's endearing qualities are boundless! His goofy smile and affectionate nature are truly heartwarming, and he has a playful spirit that makes every day an adventure. He's good with cats and would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where he can run freely and enjoy the quietude he craves!

Are you the family that can offer Fynn the serene and spacious home he needs? If you have a loving environment with plenty of land and a desire to engage with this lovable pup daily, Fynn might just be your perfect match. Let’s make Fynn’s dream of a peaceful, quiet home come true!
