Dog Details

Hello, my name is Linda. I am a very lovely young adult female Shepherd mix who loves to follow my people around the house to keep an eye on what they’re doing and as long as I get a few leashed walks throughout the day, I’m usually pretty quiet. That said, I do like to talk a lot to strangers who come to my door…after all, I am a German Shepherd mix and must protect my home! Hee, hee! I am cautious about having strangers IN my house and I am slowly getting more comfortable with it, mom currently puts me in my crate (safe place) when people come over because I have been known to bark, growl or even raise my hackles and jump. In all fairness though, since the pandemic mom hasn’t had the opportunity to have people over very often which has made it difficult for me to become more comfortable in those types of situations. In addition to needing to work on my behavior when having visitors in my home I am fearful of loud noises like fireworks. I’m also not crazy about cars, bicyclists or joggers and have been known to pull on the leash or even jump towards them when I see them.

As foster mom has earned my trust, I have become a bit of an evening couch-cuddler, but my favorite pastimes include gnawing on frozen Kongs, partaking in some tasty blueberries or butternut squash, sniffing AC units (I know, random right) and chasing squirrels. Yep, I have a high prey drive so cats are not a good fit for me, but I am good with other dogs as long as I have a slow introduction to them, especially if they’re small. By the way, I am absolutely BRILLIANT!! I am potty trained, and I know a lot of commands like “sit”, “down”, “stay”, “come”, “kennel/crate”, “leave it”, “wait”, “outside”, “shake” (paw), “up”, “get into car”, “cross the road”, and I’m working on “heel”! I am a very quick study, and my goal is to please my people so I’m not destructive when mom leaves me out of the kennel. I am also very polite and well-behaved when I go to the doctor or spa!

I really am a very sweet and gentle girl who loves to learn new things. The only thing missing from my life is a furever home with a patient person who will love me unconditionally, NOT give up on me and who is committed to helping me reach my full potential. Would you please be my furever family? I promise I am worth it, and I will love you more than I love myself!! Love, Linda

Many of our dogs are obtained from commercial breeders where they spent their lives getting comfort from their canine friends.  In turn, most require another companion dog in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog, and do not currently have a dog residing with you, please understand that your home might not be the right fit for many of our dogs.
