My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This sweet boy was left out in the owners back yard. They just didn't want him, he was very matted so we had him groomed to make him feel better. He is a very handsome pup. He is a sweet boy approx 1 year and 14 lbs. He looks like a yorkie mix.

He loves to sit on your lap, loves to run and play, he has a lot of energy and would love another dog as a friend and a fenced yard to roam in. He has a lot of personality and character and is a great dog.

From his foster family, "This is Linus, just a great big baby, who was rescued from a bad situation and now we are giving him lots of love to make up for it. He loves to play tug with toys and cuddle right next to you. We are enjoying having him as part of our family until he finds his forever home."

He did test positive for heartworms and was treated with the recommend injections and started on a monthly heartworm preventative, we usually find that the dogs test clear in approx 4-6 months
