Our 7 year old German Shepherd died suddenly in October & we were devastated. When we were ready for another dog, we knew we wanted another Shepherd, but were having such a hard time finding one that would be compatible w/ our 3 young kids & cat. We had just about given up & just for the heck of it, we went into Petco in Hillside and there was little Finley, sleeping so peacefully,( boy he had us fooled)! My husband knew right there, he was meant to be ours!
When we adopted him in December, he was 37lbs, today he is75lbs!! It took him a bit to get used to our 3 young girls, but now he loves them to death & vice versa. He is everywhere we are, literally!! We can't leave the room without him following us.
He loves playing catch w/ his ball & chewing cow hooves (ewww!)! And chewing on a random barbie doll or kids toy. And of course, chasing the cat.
My girls love "training" him w/ treats & as long as the treats keep coming, he does everything they tell him to do. He graduated from Pet Smart obedience, and next month he will start obedience classes at the Lincolnwood Kennel Club.
He LOVES playing w/ Sully (formerly known as Tater) who lives across the street from us. They are best buddies!
We love him to pieces. Thank you Magnificent Mutts for letting us rescue Finley.
