My story

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

Meet Linus – the sweetest little pup you’ll ever meet! He’s a total cuddle bug and will follow you around everywhere you go. He does have a bit of a yappy side, but we’ve got a shock collar on him. He’s super smart, though, and knows the drill – once it’s on, he quiets right down, so it never even vibrates or shocks him.

Inside, I usually keep him in a diaper just to avoid any accidents (he's a bit of a pee-er if not kept in check). Now, Linus isn’t the best fit for a home with small, wild kids – or really, other dogs. He can be a little territorial and gets easily hyped up.

Which brings us to why we’re looking for a new home for him. We have young kids, and it’s just not the best environment for Linus right now. We’re also out of the house a lot, and he really deserves a lot of attention and love. It’s a hard decision, but we want what’s best for him.

He’s got a brother, Charlie (a 12-year-old Maltipoo). Ideally, we’d love to keep them together. If interested, I’ll waive one fee.
