Meet Linus!

Linus

Meet Linus — your future gentle giant in the making 🐾💙 Linus is a 4 month old Great Dane mix ( Great Dane, Cane Corso, Pitbull, Husky) with a heart as big as the paws he’s growing into.

While he’s still a little small for a Dane right now, don’t be fooled—those oversized feet promise an impressively handsome big dog in his future! This chill little dude has the perfect balance of laid-back and playful. He’s content entertaining himself, happily chewing on bones, squeaky toys, or ropes, but he’s also always up for a house-wide wrestling match with his sister.

Toys of all kinds are his love language. Linus is already crate trained and house trained, and he’s learning how to walk on a leash. He’s curious, treat-motivated, and a quick learner, so with a little guidance and consistency from his new family, his leash manners will keep getting better. One of his favorite activities right now? Plowing joyfully through piles of leaves while practicing his on-leash skills 🍂 In public, Linus can be a bit reserved, but with exposure and patience from his forever family, he’s expected to grow into a well-mannered, confident companion. He does great with other dogs and would also be happy as an only pet, soaking up all the love.

🏡 What Linus needs: A loving forever home A fenced yard so he has a safe place to run, play, and explore A family excited to help a young pup continue learning and growing
