About Lincoln

Lincoln joined us shortly after his first birthday, having been surrendered by his owner. This little guy is currently feeling lost and scared in his new environment, which has been a big adjustment for him. Despite his shy demeanor, he has a wonderful terrier personality waiting to shine as he settles into a loving home where he can feel secure. With the right support from his new family, he will surely gain the confidence to explore the outside world and enjoy everyday adventures. Though Lincoln is timid when meeting new dogs, he is likely to warm up to friendly pups, especially those who are not overly dominant. A playful dog companion would be a bonus for him, but he could also thrive alongside cats, showing his gentle nature. Once he feels comfortable, Lincoln will likely become an affectionate and respectful member of the family. If you're interested in welcoming Lincoln into your life, please fill out an adoption questionnaire so we can arrange a meeting. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
