Genius Shelter Dog Stuns Staff With His Brilliant Training—So Why Does He Keep Getting Overlooked?
As amazing as they are, shelter dogs have long been subject to unfair labels that hinder many of them from finding loving forever homes quickly. Some people believe that shelter pups are “too damaged to adopt.” Others assume that aren’t as intelligent and easy to train as dogs that come straight from breeders. Well, what if we told you that these assumptions are purely misconceptions?

Truth is, shelter dogs are among the most well-rounded dogs you’ll ever come across, and 2-year-old Finn — a Shepherd mix currently at the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue in West Palm Beach, FL — is proof of this truth. If staff at the rescue were to list all the incredible quirks about Finn, they’d all have something in common at the top of their list: his intelligence and trainability.
Finn isn’t your average dog. He is a super smart pup with a meticulous grasp of both basic and complex commands that will wow you every single time.
A Genius Through and Through
Recently, the rescue shared a TikTok video of Finn flexing his obedience as an adoptable dog, and we couldn’t be more impressed. Sweet Finn not only knows popular commands like “sit,” “down,” “wait,” and “paw,” but also has excellent whistle recall. It doesn’t matter if he’s having the zoomies or deeply engrossed in playtime with his favorite toy; once this handsome boy hears the whistle, he’ll drop everything and run straight to you at full speed, ready for the next cue.
Finn is paws-down a dream dog for anyone with a soft spot for highly-trainable dogs. Staff and volunteers at the rescue just don’t understand why he’s been overlooked for so long, and it would pain them to see him spending another night in his kennel after showing off his brilliance to the world.
Would You Be Finn’s Forever Person?
Finn doesn’t just bring brains to the table; his overall personality is also to die for. He has the sweetest demeanor, and his love for fun is on another level. Beyond his infectious grin, Finn is a goofy, playful pup who wakes up each morning with one mission: to make the most out of life. With a dog like Finn under your roof, rest assured that your days will be a little comical.
Finn is friendly toward other dogs, will never turn down a game of fetch, views every backyard as a racetrack, and turns every couch into a cuddle zone. We can say in full confidence that Finn is the ultimate mood booster. Seriously, how can one dog be this amazing?
Finn has so much to offer, and it’s a pity he’s still waiting for a home. Please be the one to give him a chance and be the hero in his happy ending. To adopt Finn, kindly visit Peggy Adams Animal Rescue’s website for details on his adoption.
