Story
Meet Lindt (as in the chocolate). She is as sweet as her name suggests. When you look at that adorable little face and those big ears, you just melt. Lindt (affectionately called Lindy) was found as a stray and turned into a Texas Animal Shelter by a good Samaritan to keep her safe and off of the streets. She was quickly spotted by a Northstar Pet Rescue volunteer and pulled from the shelter after her stray hold was up. Weighing around 20 lbs, we believe Lindt is a standard Dachshund/Chihuahua mix around 2 1/2 years old. Try to imagine how scary it was for little Lindt to be wandering the streets trying to survive; not knowing who to trust. Lindt needs someone who is going to have patience and understanding and love her for who she is, which is a loving, playful little sweetheart who will greet you with a wagging tail when you come home, snuggle under a blanket with you, play fetch and give kisses, but also has a scared side that may guard her food, treats and toys. Her reactive triggers seem to be if she feels scared or over “high value“ items and she may snap. Although she gets along with some dogs, we feel she would do best to be the only dog in her home. Lindt does live with another dog with her NJ foster family, and they play and get along, however Lindt sometimes will let him know who the boss is. If crated around other dogs she will bark if they go near her crate. Lindt is house broken, and crate trained. She loves to be near her person, she is a total cuddle bug. When you are sitting down, she will jump up to lay next to you or on you. She will use her nose to nudge your hand or arm to get some attention. She loves belly rubs. Lindt would do best in a family that has older children who would understand her needs. Lindt is working on commands. She does need additional leash training but she is a quick learner. Lindt was fine with the cats in her Texas foster home but has not lived with cats in New Jersey. Lindt can be reactive when handled sometimes, i.e., putting a coat on her, wrestling with a harness and she does not care for the Vet’s poking and prodding and will need to be muzzled. Overall, despite her quirks, she is a funny girl that will keep you laughing! If you want to give the precious little girl her forever home and all the love and affection she deserves, apply to adopt Lindt at www.northstarpets.org and ask for LINDT TX!December 8, 2023, 12:17 pm
