Story
Meet Lina
This sweet girl is a so silly and loves to be around her humans. Lina had a broken right paw and sadly while sitting in the shelter it started to heal on its own, she sometimes walks with a noticeable limp, not very much anymore since it's healed almost completely, but you would think she is perfectly fine given that this doesn’t appear to deter her from zooming all over our yard and wrestling with our other dogs. She appears to be okay with cats (with a slow introduction), as she does not bark or show aggression, but does want play with them. When we’re watching tv in the evenings, she likes to snuggle right next or on top of me and loves gentle pets on her head and belly. At night, it’s easy to crate her and she falls asleep rather quickly after a day of fun activities. Since she is a young dog, Lina is very energetic and would be perfect for anyone who loves to be outside for walks/runs/hikes or simply have a large yard she can run around in. If you must crate her, she will be fine with a chew toy, beefhide chew ,bone, or treat-filled Kong to occupy her. Please do not leave her in the crate without toys as she will get antsy she was chewing hot spots on her feet in the shelter from sitting all day in a small kennel, they have healed now. She is very food motivated, and has learned to glue her butt to the floor when I approach with a treat. She is potty-trained and knows to wait until we let her out into the yard every few hours, she holds it overnight in crate. She walks well on a leash and doesn't pull, though she can get curious about passing cars/people. She has now had training in leash and started long line training for offleash reliability.
She knows: sit, down, place, stay (a work in progress), off, NO/Leave it, Come, her name, Give (release whatever is in her mouth to me), Wait (before door ways, before being freed to eat or let out of crate) and free (release work).
If interested please fill out and submit an application online at Softpawsrescue.org and send in home and yard photos for consideration to adopt. We like to do 2 week Foster to Adopts so the dogs don't have to move around as much and they can bond and make sure they fit into your home before completion of adoption.
Dogs adoption fee's will include vet visit/exam, spay/neuter, microchip, blood work up/dental if vet says it is needed, dewormed, up to date on shots (DHPP and Rabies, Bordetella can be done if requested we don't do it normally as we don't have the dogs in boarding, dog parks or high risk locations), current on 1 dose of flea treatment in case they brought any with them from CA. If anything isn't mentioned that you don't see but is normally done please ask.
