My story

River Monster LitterMeet Linus! Linus is 1 year old. This playful pup needs someone who is very active and willing to train him. He is high energy, but very smart! He needs a patient home to teach them the dos and don'ts of puppyhood ans one that can handle his energy.   WE ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT LINUS COMES WITH FREE TRAINING WITH ROSIE DANE DOG TRAINING! Thanks to the Pedigree Foundation, we are able to work with the trainers at Rosie Dane Dog Training to pay for a 10 week Novice Training course once adopted. More details available upon request! If you would like to make Linus a part of your family, fill.out an application at www.barktownrescue.org. LINUS' ADOPTION FEE IS $170The shelter software system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of our dogs we are only guessing at the dog's predominant breed or breed mix. We strongly encourage you to select your new pet by looking at each dog's individual personality and pet qualities rather than relying on a breed label that is only our best guess.    Our adoption fees vary from $150 and up.  All of our dogs are up to date on vaccines, heart worm preventives, and flea/tick medication, and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Portions of your adoption fee also help care for the sick and injured animals that we take in.  Thank you for supporting us and considering a rescue dog!    February 26, 2025, 6:38 am

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Linus (Rio), please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
