About Link

Link is a young dog learning that adventures can be fun, not frightening. Rescued as a stray, he's discovering the joys of companionship with both people and other dogs. While some of the bigger pups initially seem intimidating, they quickly help him let go of his fears and enjoy life. Link is improving every day with his leash training and social skills, making strides to overcome his initial shyness. At around 30 pounds, he has plenty of room to grow, so potential adopters should be ready for a larger companion in the future. This eager friend might need a few meetings to gain confidence before heading to a forever home. If you can provide room for a young guy still learning about love and trust, reach out to Teller County Regional Animal Shelter to set up an appointment. Ready to fall in love?
