About Linus

Linus is one of those pups you meet and instantly smile! He came to us from Northern Manitoba with his Peanuts litter siblings and has a big, fun personality that is hard to miss. Born at the end of March, this Shepherd mix is expected to grow into a medium-sized dog (our guess is 40 to 50 pounds), a great size for both adventures and everyday life.

Linus is a happy, high-energy puppy who approaches everything with curiosity and enthusiasm. He is also very food-motivated, which is already paying off! He knows how to sit and is eager to keep learning. You can tell he's a smart guy who just needs some consistency to keep building his skills.

Ideal Home

Linus can be a little shy when meeting new people or in new environments, so he will do best with someone who can give him the time and reassurance he needs to settle in and build confidence. Once he feels comfortable, his sweet and playful nature really shines through.

Ongoing Health

Linus's adoption fee includes up-to-date vetting, including his neuter by our preferred vet after he reaches 6 months of age.

Training & Support

Like any young pup, Linus is still figuring things out. He is learning to walk on leash and is working on his house training, often taking cues from other dogs. With a bit of patience and routine, he will continue to make great progress. He also has a bit of a chatty side, which just adds to his charm.
