About Link

Meet Link, a charming young dog looking for his forever home. Link came to NBS Animal Rescue after being found as a stray with matted fur that affected his ability to see and eat. Thankfully, his foster dad gave him a much-needed bath and a fresh haircut. Now, he’s a handsome mix of Bichon Frise and Miniature Poodle, weighing about 10 lbs. At just over a year old, Link is energetic and playful, often enjoying zoomies with his foster sister in their fenced yard. Although he’s still picking up some doggy manners, he’s a quick learner who loves to snuggle on the couch or under the covers at night. Link thrives on companionship and really enjoys being with people and other friendly dogs. He’s doing well with potty training but needs a regular schedule and can only hold it for 3-4 hours when crated. It’s important for Link to have a home with a fenced yard and someone around to help him learn the ropes. Given his playful nature, an apartment might not be the best fit right now. His adoption fee is $350, covering all his vetting, including a microchip and neuter surgery. Are you ready to give this sweet boy a loving home? Click apply to start the adoption process.
