Please monitor your comments and do not leave negative comments that could discourage visitors from visiting our shelter because this is a family friendly website. Please leave comments that will only to benefit Linus’ future. Linus has a really sad story…He is a Rescue Only case because he is in great need of medical attention. Linus has such a sweet disposition and loves to be scratched on his head. He may be partially blind, but he could follow my hand side to side and up and down with no problems. He also saw my cheese treats wherever I placed them on the ground around him. Linus came into the wrong hands recently and the person tried to kill him by cutting of his head. He has a large gapping wound that needs medical attention. Linus is also covered in abrasions that were probably caused by the same person. I don’t know if the person was caught…please do not focus on that part, please focus on Linus and his wellbeing. There is nothing we can do about the person and we will leave that up to the officers. Any donations on his behalf would be greatly appreciated. I would also like to ask if someone with tender and experienced hands could come and wash this poor boy. He is covered in some sort of ink that is covering parts of his body. Despite all that has happened to him he doesn’t seem to have a mean bone in his body. The staff are watching him closely and really don’t want to see him be put down. Please rescue groups give Linus another chance at life.
update 11-2-09: Linus is most likely dog aggressive as he reacted very negatively to dogs near his kennel. Linus can see, partially. Also, a kind volunteer came in and bathed Linus today so he is looking a bit better.
Update: A wonderful and caring citizen would like do donate $50 on Linus’ behalf. Please email Allyson at
athenspets@gmail.com if your licensed rescue group saves this sweet boy.
