My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

BASICS:
– Female
– 2.5 years old
– 45ish pounds
– Spayed, vaccinated, microchipped
– Potty trained, crate trained
– Dog friendly, cat friendly
– No young kids

PERSONALITY: Linda is very shy and timid at first, and needs someone with patience as she integrates into her new home/people/etc. She is avoidant of strangers and needs time to warm up. Once warmed up, Linda is very calm, happy-go-lucky, affectionate, and easy.

IDEAL HOME: She would do best having a woman in the home. Men are totally fine too, and Linda even calmly seeks them out for affection too once she warms up, but she thrives off of and leans off of having a woman in the home.

DOGS: Lives in foster with other dogs. She does good with both small and big dogs.

CATS: Lives in foster with cats. She started off just peacefully coexisting and tolerating the cats, but has evolved to having cat friends. Her foster says her cats actually like Linda more than the resident dogs now after a couple months in foster.

KIDS: Linda does not appreciate young children and is not a match for a home with them.

TRAINING: Potty trained. Crate trained (continuing crating will be recommended – it is her safe space and she appreciates putting herself up in it at times where she needs a social break). Does not pull on a leash (though is kinda jumpy the whole time- going back to her skittish-ness).

BACKSTORY: Linda accidentally escaped from her owner this summer. She proved to be quite the evasive one and took nearly a month to recapture. After capture, convos with her owner revealed they did not think Linda was happy with them nor did they feel best equipped to manage medical rehab (Linda was injured while on the run and needed surgery). Linda was surrendered to us to follow and has recovered from hip surgery (FHO).

Linda is a FLIGHT RISK. It is extremely unlikely that Linda could be caught again if she escaped, so adopters must be prepared to take an abundance of caution to keep her safe and secure.

LOCATION: Currently in foster in Atlanta, GA.

AVAILABILITY: Available for adoption or foster-to-adopt (FTA). FTA is a two week, commitment free and pressure free, trial run to make sure things are a match before sealing the deal.

More about this rescue

Joy’s Promise is a promise to keep fighting for those like Joy. The discarded, unwanted, abused and neglected. It won’t always look like Joy, a pregnant mama facing euthanasia. It might be a pittie sitting animal control for months, years unwanted. It might be a boxer mix from a terrible hoarding case. It might be an owner surrender that lost everything they have ever known. It might be a box of puppies who were tossed without the slightest remorse. Joy’s Promise is a promise for Joy’s death to not be in vain, but a catalyst for more lives saved.

Joy’s Promise Canine Rescue is a registered nonprofit corporation and an actively licensed GDA animal shelter. We are a foster-based organization in the process of filing 501c3 paperwork.
