From Shy Sheltered Sweetheart to Your Biggest Fan
​When Lintel first arrived from the shelter, she was a bit overwhelmed by the big, loud world, choosing to hide out in her kennel for the first two days. But don't let that initial shyness fool you! On day three, she stepped into a foster home and absolutely burst out of her shell. She has the most adorable, joyful puppy-like spirit that is guaranteed to brighten even your roughest days.

​Have you ever wanted to feel like a global superstar just for walking into the kitchen? Lintel is ready to give you that VIP treatment! Every single time her favorite humans enter the room, she celebrates like you just won Album of the Year. Her signature welcome routine includes: ​A dramatic, enthusiastic play bow. ​A joyful victory lap around the room.
​Standing up on her hind legs with her paws in the air like she's cheering for an encore.

Her Perfect Match
​While Lintel can still be a little coy and cautious in brand-new environments, her true colors are nothing but sweet, playful, and gentle. She is incredibly affectionate with people and absolutely loves other dogs, making her a fantastic option for a household that already has a furry friend to show her the ropes.
​If you have a little patience for her brief "getting to know you" phase, Lintel will reward you with a lifetime of unconditional love, hilarious dance routines, and endless puppy kisses.

The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size. Originating from Mexico, these dogs are known for their large, expressive eyes and alert, curious nature. Chihuahuas make excellent companions, forming strong bonds with their owners and displaying a protective nature. They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.

The Wirehaired Terrier is a charming and energetic dog breed known for its shaggy coat and lively personality. Originating from terriers bred for hunting small game, they are intelligent, spirited, and make loyal companions. Their wiry coat requires regular grooming to prevent matting, and they thrive on ample exercise and mental stimulation. With proper training and socialization, Wirehaired Terriers can be excellent family pets, excelling in activities such as agility and obedience.

Giving dogs the lives they deserve.
