Linda

My story

Linda is a gentle, low-key lady with a heart full of affection. She greets new friends calmly with soft eyes, a gentle tail wag, and a laid-back vibe. Outside, Linda shows her affectionate side. She is wiggly, snuggly, and eager to hop into your lap for attention. She’s polite with other dogs, recently enjoying a peaceful walk alongside another mellow pup. Linda isn’t much for toys, but she takes treats delicately and welcomes gentle handling with grace. This sweet gal would thrive in a calm, loving home where she can soak up all the affection she deserves.

Was sleeping And I called her over and she slowly got up and approached me with mid tail, wag, soft eyes, and a loose/neutral body. I opened the kennel door and at first unsure of the leash she backed away but then allowed me to leash her with no issues. Leash: minimal pulling Handling: In the yard, Linda was loose and wiggly with me. She would jump up on me soliciting attention and even try to hop in my lap. A staff member asked to borrow her for a dog meet and she was loose with the staff member hopping into her lap. A few times she did lip lick when becoming a bit uncomfortable but she allowed all handling and was very tolerant. We did a dog meet with Nandi which they both are low energy gals and walked really well together. Both loose/ neutral and allowed each other to be in their space. She wasn’t interested in toys or play but she does takes treats very nicely out of your hand. Returning her to kennel I had no issues as she hopped right in. Toys: no interest Play: no interest Color: experienced gold 07/21/2025 staff notes: dog initially, was very scared and attempted to lunge at officer, but upon arrival to shelter, she is still fearful, but was not reactive we were able to remove harness and leash dog to kennel MEDICAL Tech Exam: Intake - Medical 07/22/2025 | 2:36 pm Exam Reason Needs Initial Exam Clinic ACCT Philly Subjective intake Objective BAR very sweet but a little scared Weight 42.2 lbs Body Condition Score 5 - Ideal Assessment Microchip Found?
