About Lina

Lina is a lovable, smart, and well-behaved girl on the hunt for her forever home. At around 3 years old and weighing in at a sturdy 55 pounds, she’s likely an American Staffordshire Terrier mix—big on heart and happy wiggles. Lina gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would thrive with canine companions but should go to a home without cats since she hasn’t been around them. Leash walks are a breeze for Lina; she’s polite and loves being outdoors, finding as much joy in sunrise strolls as she does a good car ride. She rides well, so she’s ready for anything from road trips to coffee runs. Indoors, she’s equally content curled up watching a movie or soaking up sunbeams. Ear scratches and belly rubs are always welcome. Her journey wasn’t easy—she was found pregnant and alone in a rural area—but she’s safe now, healthy, and has left those tough times behind. Lina is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, house-trained, crate-trained, and has some formal obedience training. She’s got plenty of love left to give the right family.
