Story
Meet Linus, a teenage pup who wants to put in his application to be your dog’s best friend.
Like his Charlie Brown namesake 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 incredibly enamored with other dogs and completely fearless with them, but he can be shy around new people. He enjoys being petted and likes to sit next to you, but he’s not a lap dog. 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 going for his daily walk and is great on a leash. He is fully potty trained and crate trained.
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 seven months old as of early October.
Linus is a special boy, and we hope someone will give him a chance to blossom in their home. If you’ve ever thought that your dog needs a best friend, Linus would be the perfect companion.
