LINUS - TERRIER / DACHSHUND / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Terrier / Dachshund / Mixed. Linus is a sweet little guy who definitely has had a harder life before coming to PA. He comes from a shelter in West Virginia where he spent nearly 2 years and we suspect shelter life was a tad hard on him. Linus is slowly coming out of his shell and you can tell he’s excited for another chance! Linus LOVES other dogs and gains confidence from being around them. We strongly believe it would be best for him to be in a forever home with at least one other canine friend. Most times, you’ll find him snuggled up with our other dogs – he truly seems to find comfort from them. He also enjoys his walks and does incredibly well on the leash. For a small dog – he’s about 10lbs -he’s very quiet and there’s not much he reacts to. It should be said that given his extensive shelter stay and unknown history before that, Linus is a bit scared and skittish . He probably should not go to a forever home with small children. Linus tends to be initially afraid of people and it’s not his favorite to be pet or cuddled by new people . Something that could definitely change with time and treats! Linus is extremely food motivated and a good eater. Linus is a 10 year old sweetheart who needs a soft place to land in a home with other dogs and older children. He could also live with a cat as he seems to be intimidated by ours.
