Linus's Story

Meet Linus! Linus is a handsome 3-year-old 48 lb Lab mix with a big personality and an even bigger love for tennis balls! This playful, energetic guy may need a little time to warm up when he first meets you, but once he decides you're his person, you've got a loyal, loving best friend for life. He absolutely thrives on attention and is especially attached to his foster mom—he's definitely a foster mama's boy! Linus is good with other dogs, although he likes to take a little time to get comfortable and can be a bit dominant. Once introductions are done and he's settled in, he's ready to play and have fun. And toys? Forget it. Linus believes every toy and ball was put on this earth specifically for him to destroy. But his true obsession is tennis balls. If you have a tennis ball, you have Linus's undivided attention! Linus would love a home that will give him the time to build trust, plenty of attention, and lots of opportunities for play and activity. Once you're in his circle, you're going to have one very happy, affectionate, goofy boy by your side. Linus is ready to meet his person—preferably someone with a good supply of tennis balls! <br/><br/> If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will be in touch!<br/><br/> The adoption fee of $400 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm, and any other necessary medical treatment to ensure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe the breed, since our pups all come from shelters, we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! <br/><br/>*Please note that we are a foster home-based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.
