About LindaUPDATE

Linda is a changed dog, full of life and joy after overcoming significant challenges. A year ago, she weighed 33 lbs and struggled to move, but now she’s a sprightly 15 lbs and radiates happiness. Linda has her quirks—she needs some time to trust new people and a warm touch. With patience, she’ll bond deeply and become your devoted companion, always ready for cuddles and belly rubs. She thrives in the company of other dogs, so a home with just one or two people, plus some furry friends, would be ideal. Expect to invest time in building a relationship, but the reward is immense. She's also managing hypothyroidism with daily medication. Although she had a small cancerous mass removed, it was caught early, and she's looking forward to a vibrant second chapter. If you're interested in bringing this special girl into your home, please email njwoof@cs.com to meet Linda in Oak Ridge, NJ. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
