*LINCOLN

My story

Lincoln arrived at the Burbank Animal Shelter with his sister, Lana. At just 1.5 years old, they’ve spent most of their lives in the shelter, overcoming a rough start with the help of loving care and attention from our dedicated team.Lincoln is a gentle, easygoing pup who’s become a favorite on our volunteer-led day hikes. He walks beautifully on a loose leash (most of the time) typically ignoring other dogs on the trail, though he’s always happy to pause for a break. One of Lincoln’s favorite things? Water! He recently had a blast splashing in a nearby stream, showing off his playful side.While Lincoln can be hesitant to get into cars, he’s getting better with practice and encouragement. Once he’s in, he settles nicely and enjoys the ride, especially when there’s an adventure waiting at the other end.Lincoln shares a special bond with Lana. While they’re comfortable being apart, they clearly love each other, often sharing kisses and checking in when they’re together. That sweet connection only adds to Lincoln’s charm.In playgroups, Lincoln has shown impressive growth in his social skills. He plays well with the other dogs and is always gentle and affectionate with people. During a recent community parade in Burbank, Lincoln greeted adults and kids alike with tail wags and warmth.Since Lincoln has spent most of his life in the shelter, the outside world is still full of new sights and sounds for him. He’ll need a bit of time and patience to adjust, but he’s already shown great promise. During a recent overnight stay in a foster home, Lincoln was an easy guest and did all his business outside like a pro.Like all our shelter dogs, Lincoln will benefit from continued training as he transitions into a home. But what he truly needs is someone to take a chance on him.Lincoln is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of dog. Adopting him is like winning the doggy lottery, and if you adopt Lana too, well, you’ve just hit the jackpot twice.
