🌟 Meet Linda, a charming little lovebug bursting with joy and affection! With a heart as big as Texas itself, this wiry sweetheart greets everyone with open paws—kids, adults, and even her fellow furry friends find joy in her presence. Linda isn’t just any pup; she’s the kind of companion who claims your lap as her throne, soaking up all the love you can give! ❤️ Energetically delightful and always ready for playtime, Linda effortlessly balances her moderate energy with cuddles galore. She loves toys almost as much as she loves snuggling up close to her humans—if you’re looking for a furry shadow to follow you around, your search ends here! 🐕 Now, let’s chat about her friendships! Linda gets along fabulously with both big and small dogs, and has even met some cats! However, having come from a difficult hoarding situation, she prefers to dine solo and needs a little special care during mealtimes. 🍽️ It’s just her way of reclaiming her space and knowing she’s safe. Outside of meal prep, she’s a social butterfly who thrives in a loving environment full of canine companionship. Though she can get a tad noisy when spotting other dogs, especially if she isn’t nestled in your arms, she’ll shine brightest in a home setting instead of an apartment. That lap of yours? It’s her happy place! When she feels secure, she transforms into a calm and content little cuddle bug. 🥰 Linda’s journey hasn’t been easy—she came into rescue covered in fleas and pregnant, but look at her now! With love and care, she’s blossomed into an affectionate and gentle spirit ready to find her forever home. She needs a family that understands her background and can provide the reassurance she seeks. If you’re ready for lots of love and laughter with this adorable girl, Linda could be the perfect match for you! 🗓️ Please note, Linda will arrive in Minnesota on 02/07/2026, and you’ll need to coordinate picking her up at the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN. Mark your calendars! Please ensure you can pick her up between 8:30 AM and noon, as accommodations outside this timeframe won't be possible. Until then, dear friends, you can take the exciting step of applying to adopt her through the Buddy App! This is the best way to show your heartfelt interest while waiting for Linda’s warm arrival! 🐾💖
