🐶 About Linus

Linus is a young retired male raised at SFC, and he’s ready to bring joy and companionship to the right family or individual. He’s a handsome long coat Chihuahua with beautiful blue Merle coloring. He can be shy and submissive at first but once he is comfortable, he can be a real love bug. When he is relaxed and comfortable, the front tip of his tongue sticks out a bit and we think it's so cute! 

He is:

• Pee pad and dog door trained

• Crate trained

• A minimal barker

• Treat-motivated

• Good with other dogs

• Slightly shy at first but turns into a funny, charming character once comfortable

• A great option for someone wanting to skip the puppy stages

• Fed Purina Pro Plan, which he enjoys

🏡 Ideal Home

Linus would thrive with a person or family who:

• Can provide patience and structure while he adjusts

• Understands the 3-3-3 Rule for dog adjustment (3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn, 3 months to settle)

• Is open to reintroducing potty training in a new environment

• Wants a young adult dog with training foundations in place

📌 Note: Linus is from a breeding home and will need some time and consistency to fully transition to a new routine.
