About Lincoln

Lincoln is 3 1/2 years old and weighs around 175 pounds, a classic apricot Mastiff with a short coat. He’s neutered, current on vaccinations, and takes his monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention seriously. Lincoln is gentle and loving with people—he has no idea how huge he is and can easily bowl over small children in his excitement to say hello, so a home without young kids is best. He is friendly to just about everyone, but he does need to be the only dog in the family (though he does have a special buddy, Fae). He does not get along with cats either. A fenced yard is a must for Lincoln, and while he’s crate trained and pretty good on a leash, he’s still working on his manners when left loose in the house. He eats meals soaked in water due to his size and needs, but that’s easy once you get the hang of it. Fun fact: Lincoln is a Sagittarius, known for curiosity and loyalty.
