Linguine, 3, walks alone to Stacey’s room to settle in for a nap in Rockbridge, Ohio, on November 3, 2023. Stacey McKnight, Linguine’s foster mom, explains that because of Linguine’s racing background, she was “worried about him being in [her] small one- bedroom apartment but the adoption officials told [her] that he would love it because they feel more comfortable in a smaller area since that’s what he’s used to.”
