Here's what the humans have to say about me:
LINK: Playful, Athletic, and Loyal. This young guy has the coolest genetics on the block!! He has a wiry coat on his paws and chest and then long fur on his back, with a fluffy curled tail to top it all off!!
Link is about 2 years old and aced his evaluation, loving every bit of attention he could get his hands on, did not guard anything, and loved everyone he met. He does some typical alert barking to new people entering the lobby and is very easily able to distinguish between regular people he sees everyday and new faces which show he is a VERY smart dog.
One of our favorite things about Link is that he loves to self-entertain with toys and will toss and bury and roll around any toy we give him and have total blast! He is a star playmate in our yard with our other goofy dogs and can out-run and out-jump all of them! He is so agile and graceful when he plays with other dogs and loves to paw, nibble, and play chase.
Link hates being in his kennel alone so we 100% want him to be placed in a home where he could hopefully have that canine sibling to keep him company, go to work with someone, or have a stay at home human for him to doze at their feet. He has made tremendous strides from being quiet and shy to knowing how to really have a great time which has been a wonderful thing to witness.
He has been bounced around a lot in his past life, and because he is just SUCH a sweetheart, we are really seeking a super stable environment for him to thrive--so please come and meet him, email us questions, and watch his video to get a sense of his great temperament. He could be wonderful family dog for kids over the age of 14--- Little ones make him a bit nervous right now and we want to set him up for the best success possible.
Link NEVER uses his mouth inappropriately, loves to be cuddled, loves the car, and will sit at your sit for hours without complaint. GREAT young guy…..all ready to get outta the cement kennel and back into a home where he belongs.
If you want a companion--loyal as can be--Link is your man, just open your car door and he will jump right in, we promise!
