About Linus D

Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Linus is part of the Charlie Brown litter, whose mom, Holly, is a French Bulldog and Boston Terrier mix. DNA testing shows their dad was mostly Cattle Dog with some Border Collie influence, so these pups are expected to grow to a smart, medium size. Linus and his siblings were born in foster care after their mom was rescued from a shelter just in time—they were raised in a loving home environment, making them social, healthy, and affectionate. Linus stands out for his gentle, playful demeanor and his love for snuggles and belly rubs. He’s always eager to be part of family activities, whether that's playing with his brother, running in the yard, going for walks, or joining for long drives. Linus is crate-trained for sleeping and is already mastering a variety of basic commands in both English and Hindi. He does wonderfully with older kids and enjoys being around other dogs, both large and small, although he can be a bit nervous with new changes or unfamiliar dogs at first. Having someone at home with him suits his social nature best. Linus also loves fruits and vegetables and has shown no interest in chasing cats, making him a versatile companion. He is happiest in a routine-oriented home with an experienced guardian who can provide support and gentle guidance as he adapts. He is thriving in his current foster home, winning over everyone he meets—including the vet! Linus is ready for a loving home where he can continue to show off his intelligence, sweetness, and playful side. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
