Linx might just be your perfect match if you've ever wanted a loyal little shadow who will make you laugh every day. He's about 6 months old, and while we think he may be a German Shepherd/Doberman mix, with rescue, it's always a guess! What we do know is that he's ridiculously cute, incredibly smart, and completely devoted to his people. In his foster home, Linx is a happy, playful puppy who absolutely adores his doggy friends. Wrestling and tug-of-war are his favorites, and he's always up for zoomies around the yard. His foster says he's very much a "monkey see, monkey do" kind of puppy and loves having canine buddies to learn from and follow around. Because of this, we'd love to see him go to a home with another playful dog.
Linx is a toy enthusiast of the highest level. Squeaky toys, chew toys, sticks he found outside five minutes ago – if it can be carried around proudly, Linx is interested. He's great at entertaining himself and can often be found happily playing with his treasures or soaking up the sunshine during a good backyard sunbathing session. One of the sweetest things about Linx is how much he loves kids. He recently met a 5-year-old little girl and was completely smitten. She hugged him, kissed him, and even walked him on leash, and Linx was nothing but gentle wiggles and happy puppy smiles. He thought she was the greatest thing ever. Linx also recently met a cat and did well, showing curiosity without any issues. As with any puppy, continued positive exposure and proper introductions will help him build confidence and good manners around feline friends.
Like many growing puppies, Linx can be unsure when faced with brand-new people, places, and situations. When he feels overwhelmed, he may become nervous and need some extra time to figure things out. Because of this, his future family should be prepared to give him a proper decompression period and allow him to settle in at his own pace. Once he realizes he's safe, his sweet, loving personality starts to shine through.

Training & Support
Linx can be unsure when faced with brand-new people, places, and situations and may become nervous when overwhelmed. His future family should be prepared to give him a proper decompression period and allow him to settle in at his own pace. The most important thing to remember about Linx is that he's still a baby learning how the world works. He isn't looking for perfection; he's looking for patient people who will help him build confidence, continue his socialization, and show him that new experiences can be fun.
