Meet the enchanting Linda, a lovely 2.5-year-old female who’s just waiting to blossom in your care! 🌸 At about 45 pounds, she’s the perfect size for cuddling on the couch or going on gentle walks. This precious girl has been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, ensuring she’s ready and safe to welcome you into her heart. Now, let's talk about Linda's personality. Initially, she might be a little shy and timid, tiptoeing around her new surroundings like she’s walking on an invisible tightrope. But oh, how patience pays off! Once she feels secure in her new home, she transforms into a calm, happy-go-lucky soul who is absolutely affectionate. Imagine the day she gazes up at you with those big, warm eyes, and you can just feel the love radiating from her. 🥰 Linda thrives best in a home with a woman, though she’s totally open to including kind men as well—they just need to give her a moment to warm up. She’s currently having a blast in a foster home filled with both big and small dog companions, and guess what? She’s even become friends with the resident cats! 🐶🐱 How amazing is that? Her foster mom says the cats actually prefer Linda over the dogs. This sweet girl has transitioned from being a wallflower to a beloved member of the household. When it comes to kids, though, let’s be clear: young children can be a bit too much for her. Linda isn’t a fan and would thrive best in an adult home, where she can focus on building trust and confidence with her human companions. Training? Linda is doing splendidly! She’s potty trained and crate trained, and her crate is her cozy little hideaway where she feels secure. She’s gentle on the leash, but does get a tad jumpy, which is completely understandable given her past! This girl has seen some excitement: she once went on quite an adventure—escaping from her previous owner and evading capture for nearly a month! After being brought back, it was discovered that she had been injured and required surgery. But look at her now, successfully recovering and ready for her new chapter! It's important to know that Linda is a flight risk. This little explorer needs a secure home where she won't have the chance to run away again, so her new family must be diligent about keeping her safe. Linda is currently in foster care in Atlanta, GA, but she’s waiting for the right match to find her forever home. She’s available for adoption or even foster-to-adopt, which means you can take a two-week, pressure-free trial run to see if she's the perfect fit for you! So if you're ready to open your heart and home to a shy yet loving companion, *apply through the Buddy App* and get to know the incredible Linda. You won't regret it!
