My story

Can you hear me now? I bet this sweet boy can with his amazing ears!! Meet Linus.  He's about 5-5 1/2 months old and a cute lab/terrier/shep mix.  He's spunky, goofy, and as loving can be all wrapped up in a 30lb ball of perfection.   He's good with other dogs,  people, and kids.  Probably best with kids over 5 as he can get a little nippy with all of his puppy energy.  He's a little rough on cats but in a playful way.     Linus is crate trained,  working extremely hard on potty training and knows sit with other basic commands in the works.  All toys are like Christmas day for him and after a hard day of running and playing he will curl up in a ball and sleep peacefully next to you If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application  . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet! The adoption fee of $450 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 11, 2025, 8:13 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Linus, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
