My story

In the market for an incredibly special, unique looking, affectionate, outgoing, goofy canine companion? Linus is your guy. Between his crazy ears, different colored eyes, and wonky shaped head , Linus is sure to get noticed everywhere he goes which is perfect because he loves everyone he meets. Literally everyone. This dude lives for attention and will sit for pets or a treat like it's his job. He also loves going for walks and car rides, especially if the outing involves a pup cup. He's the perfect wingman for all of your summer brewery trips.    Linus also likes other dogs, but is a little hesitant when first meeting a new pup. He can't open his mouth as far as normal dogs (his wonky head), so he can't really defend himself and needs time to understand that a new dog is safe. A calmer, playful canine companion would be best or he'd be perfectly content as the only pup in the home.     Linus does have a bit of a neurological deficit, so his ideal home would be one who understands that every now and then he may get into things he shouldn't and will be patient with him, especially as he gets the hang of a new routine and environment. Despite what can be an occasional challenge, his goofy antics are sure to keep you entertained. And seriously, who can resist that face? While he does wonderfully with kids, he can be a bit of a bulldozer at times , so rough and tumble older kids are ideal.    All in all, Linus is a super sweet, special pup who needs an equally special home! If you are interested in adopting Linus please fill out an application today!June 9, 2025, 11:13 am

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.
