About Lynx

Lynx landed at Olive Branch as a stray, but he’s ready to move on from that old chapter. He’s a high-energy, active young dog who lives for running and adventure. Lynx is best suited for a family with older children or teens; he’s a little too much for little kids but thrives with those who enjoy staying active. He does well with most dogs and would love to meet any pups already at home to be sure they’re a good fit. If your family enjoys exploring the outdoors and staying busy, Lynx could be the perfect companion. It’s worth knowing he can’t resist chasing cats, so he’ll need a feline-free home. He’s neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and up to date on preventives. Ready to give Lynx a shot at a real home? Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
