LINUS - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 400. Meet Linus! Linus is a handsome 3-year-old 48 lb Lab mix with a big personality and an even bigger love for tennis balls! This playful, energetic guy may need a little time to warm up when he first meets you, but once he decides you're his person, you've got a loyal, loving best friend for life. He absolutely thrives on attention and is especially attached to his foster mom—he's definitely a foster mama's boy! Linus is good with other dogs, although he likes to take a little time to get comfortable and can be a bit dominant. Once introductions are done and he's settled in, he's ready to play and have fun. And toys? Forget it. Linus believes every toy and ball was put on this earth specifically for him to destroy. But his true obsession is tennis balls. If you have a tennis ball, you have Linus's undivided attention! Linus would love a home that will give him the time to build trust, plenty of attention, and lots of opportunities for play and activity. Once you're in his circle, you're going to have one very happy, affectionate, goofy boy by your side. Linus is ready to meet his person—preferably someone with a good supply of tennis balls!
