About Linus

Meet Linus, an easygoing 5-month-old mix with an adorable little face. This friendly guy currently weighs around 11 pounds and should settle in between 15 to 20 pounds as an adult. He arrived at the rescue with his sister Lucy, and has proven to be wonderful with dogs of all sizes and gets along with children too. Despite his terrier background, Linus is quite laid-back. He’s not a scrappy pup; rather, he’s quiet and relaxed, making him a joy to have around. Linus is already mastering his manners for such a young pup. He is doing well in a crate and is nearly potty trained. With his short coat, he’s sure to be an easy-care companion. While Linus enjoys his time with Lucy, they don’t need to be adopted together. He would thrive in a home with other dogs or would be equally happy as an only pet with a loving owner. Ready to meet Linus? Apply today!
