About Linda

Linda weighs approximately 58 pounds and was transferred to the NHSPCA from an overcrowded shelter in Texas. This beautiful girl is house trained, crate trained, and incredibly affectionate. Her foster mom reports that Linda has a delightful play style. Initially high-energy and rough, she quickly shifts to a more gentle and bouncy manner once she's burned off some energy. As a smart Shepherd mix, she's picked up several commands including sit, come, down, leave it, and off, and she'd love to learn even more in her forever home. Linda gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and ages, making her a great companion. She's somewhat of a food enthusiast too, preferring to eat from a slow feeder. Just a heads up: she may pull a bit on the leash and jump up when excited, so she might inadvertently knock over small children or anyone caught off guard by her exuberance. Come meet Linda and experience her charming smile for yourself! She's ready to bring joy to a loving home.
