Lina is a 7-year-old, 12-pound terrier mix with a big personality packed into a tiny body. Originally a semi-feral pup from Cherokee, NC, Lina has come a long way and is discovering just how cozy and fun life inside a home can be. These days, Lina’s favorite place is right in bed with her people and her foster dog sibling, soaking up all the comfort she missed out on before. On leash, Lina is a great walking companion, though she prefers a little personal space and may let out a growl if unfamiliar dogs get too close. She’s currently living with a small dog and does well overall, but she’d likely thrive in a home that understands her need for boundaries. Cats, in her opinion, are not friends. Lina is looking for a patient, understanding home that will continue to help her feel safe & loved. She is up to date on her vaccines, spayed, is on monthly flea and heartworm prevention and her adoption fee is $250.
