About Linus the Lion

Meet Linus the Lion, a gentle Pekingese who embodies sweetness and calm. This four-year-old, neutered male weighs 16.5 lbs and boasts a beautiful bicolor coat with black and chocolate tones. Linus has a low energy level; he enjoys brief playtime with toys, especially balls, but ultimately prefers to lounge and observe his surroundings. Though he gets along well with dogs, often just watching them from a distance, he is nervous around children and tends to retreat when they are present. Linus has medical needs; after undergoing dental work that included 16 extractions, regular dental care is essential for his well-being. With a history rooted in a hoarding situation, Linus requires a supportive home that allows him to acclimate at his own pace. He’s learning what affection feels like and enjoys cuddles and baths, though he may initially shy away. This tender boy is crate-trained and has mastered potty training. He may not know commands yet, but yummy treats are a surefire way to win his heart. Linus is ready for a loving home that will cherish his unique journey! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
