Story
Meet Linus, a four-month-old pup who wants to put in his application to be your dog’s best friend.
Like his namesake from Charlie Brown needs his security blanket, our Linus needs his security dog. He would be absolutely lost without another dog in the home, and so we are searching for a forever home with at least one other dog in it. But the more the merrier for Linus.
Linus is absolutely fearless around other dogs, but he is very shy around new people. Linus likely had very little human socialization until he was caught at about 10 weeks old. He is currently being showered with human love and attention in his foster home, and he is making great progress. He enjoys being petted and doesn’t mind a cuddle session every now and then. But he would always rather cuddle with his doggy friends.
Linus is well mannered and very smart. Any hint that a treat might be coming his way and he sits down before you even give the command. He loves to play fetch with his best doggy friend, which basically involves her playing fetch and him running along side her and trying to steal the ball. He also enjoys chasing his own tail. He’ll go round and round in circles until he catches it. His puppy antics will make you smile.
Linus is a mix of Bernese Mountain Dog, various terriers (Staffordshire and Pitbull) and retrievers (Golden and Labrador), as well as some poodle and a few other breeds, according to his breed test. The test predicted his full grown weight could be anywhere from 50 to 80 lbs., but we think he’ll be on the smaller end of that spectrum. He was approximately four months old as of early July. He is potty trained and crate trained.
Linus is a special boy, and we hope someone will give him a chance to blossom in their home. If your dog needs a best friend, Linus is more than up to the challenge.
