About Linguine

Meet Linguine, a charming, approximately 1.5-year-old Chihuahua mix ready to steal your heart! He has a sweet demeanor and loves to snuggle, easily melting into your arms for some affection. Linguine's journey began in a home filled with other dogs, which made him a bit anxious initially. After some concerns about his back legs, X-rays revealed a previously fractured pelvis that has healed nicely. With the right care and time, he's gained strength and enjoys playing with his doggy friends, though he might have a wobbly gait at times. His vet now believes that surgery won't be necessary, allowing Linguine to embrace life fully. While he can be shy around new people and environments, he thrives with a patient and experienced adopter who can help him gain confidence. Linguine is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccinations. He is also house trained and ready to embark on his next big adventure: finding his forever home. If you're looking for a loyal companion with heaps of love to share, Linguine might just be the perfect match for you. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
