About Linden

Linden is a 4-year-old male Poodle who has endured a tough start to life as a puppy mill survivor. He found himself in rescue after being released from a breeding situation, and while he came to us timid and anxious, he has begun to blossom. He's learning what it means to be a cherished companion and is starting to play and trust people. This little guy weighs around 10 pounds and has the potential to become a loving pet with the right guidance and a patient family. Linden would thrive in a home with another small dog, as this companionship can help him adjust more quickly. A secure, fenced potty area is also important for his safety as he continues to navigate his new environment. Though he hasn't mastered leash walking yet, the journey will be rewarding. Linden currently wears doggy boots to protect his paws while he builds up strength and comfort in his new life. Each small victory is a step toward becoming a well-adjusted member of the family. This adorable pup is looking for a family that understands the challenges and joys of adopting a dog like him, one who will nurture his newfound independence. If you're ready for a special journey with Linden, be sure to fill out the pre-adoption application on our website and prepare to embrace all the love he has to give. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
