Linguine

Hi humans! I’m Linguine, an approximately 1.5-year-old Chihuahua mix who will absolutely melt into your arms for some love!<br/><br/>My journey to Faithful Friends started in a home with lots of other dogs. I was pretty scared when I first arrived, and there were concerns that I might have an injury to my back legs. After an X-ray, we got some answers: I had a fractured pelvis that had healed on its own. Thankfully, I was able to walk comfortably and didn’t appear to be in pain, so my vet recommended a conservative approach rather than surgery. The plan was to let me build strength in my back legs and reevaluate me once my muscles had developed.<br/><br/>And guess what? I’ve been making great progress! Playing and romping around with my doggy friends has helped me build considerable strength. My gait can still be a little wobbly sometimes, but my vet doesn’t anticipate that I’ll need surgery in the future. I may have a slightly different walk, but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying life!<br/><br/>These days, I’m showing everyone just how much love and personality I have to offer. I’m active, sweet, and a BIG fan of belly rubs. Give me a little affection, and I’ll happily melt right into your arms. I’ve become quite the character and am even a staff favorite here at Faithful Friends!<br/><br/>I can be a little nervous when meeting new people or adjusting to unfamiliar surroundings, so I’m looking for a tenured dog owner who understands that some pups need extra time and patience to feel safe. With a little understanding and a lot of love, I know I can continue to blossom into the confident, happy dog I’m meant to be.<br/><br/>I’ve worked hard to get stronger, and now I’m ready for my next big adventure: finding a forever family of my very own. If you’re looking for a sweet little companion with a big heart and plenty of love to give, I might just be your Linguine!<br/><br/>**Important**<br/><br/>I am neutered, microchipped, on heartworm preventative, heartworm negative, up to date on vaccines, and have been dewormed. <br/><br/>The cost to adopt is $250, and the adoption process begins with an Adoption Application that is located at: www.faithfulfriendsnc.org/adopt<br/><br/>Once your completed application has been reviewed the humans will contact you with questions and/or set an appointment for you to meet me. Thank you! Please read all guidelines before sending in an application. Do not reach out to the sanctuary about the status of your application, we will contact you if we are interested in setting up an appointment.
