Linus's Story

Meet Charlie Brown & Linus <br/><br/>Two brothers with a heartbreaking past… and a hopeful future.<br/><br/>Charlie Brown and Linus are two puppy brothers whose lives started in a way no dog ever should. They came to us from South Carolina after our friends at Friends of Carolina Animals reached out about an urgent and devastating situation—two very sick puppies living their entire lives on chains, suffering in silence and in desperate need of help.<br/><br/>Without hesitation, we said yes.<br/><br/>Thanks to an incredible team effort, Charlie Brown and Linus were rushed straight to a veterinary hospital where they received life-saving care. They were extremely ill and heavily infested with parasites, and for a while, it was touch and go. But these boys fought hard. Day by day, with medical care, proper nutrition, and something they’d never known before—kindness—they began to heal.<br/><br/>Fast forward about a month later, and these once-forgotten puppies are almost unrecognizable.<br/><br/>Now safe in foster care, Charlie Brown and Linus have come so incredibly far. They’re learning the ropes of being loved pups—working on potty training and crate training, discovering toys, soft beds, and the comfort of human companionship. They do wonderfully with children and other dogs, and would likely do well with cats with slow, proper introductions.<br/><br/>Today, both boys are fully vetted and ready for adoption.<br/><br/>They were born into neglect, pain, and confinement—but that is not how their story ends. Charlie Brown and Linus have survived the worst and are finally getting their chance at everything they were denied: freedom, love, safety, and a forever family.<br/><br/>They’ve lived life on a chain.<br/><br/>Now they deserve life in a home, surrounded by love<br/><br/>NO APARTMENTS FOR LINUS<br/><br/>Adopt Linus: www.freedomfirstrescue.com/linus

Freedom First Rescue's Adoption Policy
Adoption Requirements We want to ensure that our dogs are ending up in the best homes possible and we ask that you fulfill these requirements in order to adopt one of our dogs: Our age requirement is 23 year old and we do require a copy of your license to verify. If you do not own your home, we will require land lord approval. Everyone in the home needs to be supportive and accepting of the adoption (we run a criminal background checks for all adults over 18 that are living in the household). All people living in the home need to be able to do a meet and greet with the dog in question for adoption – this includes your current dog(s). This step happens AFTER your application and home visit are approved! Resident dogs must be surgically altered (spayed/neutered), up to date on core vaccinations (Rabies and Distemper), heartworm tested on a consistent basis AND/OR on monthly heartworm prevention. IF YOUR DOG IS NOT SPAYED/NEUTERED, DO NOT FILL OUT AN APPLICATION FOR ONE OF OUR DOGS UNLESS you can provide documentation from a licensed veterinarian stating why this is has not be done. **PLEASE NOTE: Submitting an application does NOT guarantee an adoption. There is a 3 part process. This starts with an application review. If your application is approved, you will move on to step two which is a home check. At that point if you are approved the last and final step will be a meet and greet with the dog in question for adoption. We DO NOT do female to female dog adoptions with our BULLY BREEDS!! Male to male or male to female adoptions with our bully breed dogs are acceptable!
