Sweet Linda was brought in as a stray with her brother, who has already been adopted. Linda is the sweetest soul. Linda can be tricky to photograph because she loves to have a toy in her mouth at all times. We think it's adorable! Linda is dog friendly and loves people!

Story
Hey there, I'm Courtney, the sweetest 5-year-old German Shepherd weighing in at 60.4 pounds. I don't require tons of exercise, but I enjoy going for walks and playing in the house or yard with other dogs. Regular walks and interactive playtime will help keep me mentally and physically stimulated. A fenced yard would be paw-some for me, especially when nature calls - I'm not a fan of doing my business while on a leash. I thrive in an active home filled with kids and other furry pals - I even get along with cats! I'm at my best when I have friends to keep me company and share in all the fun activities. Whether it's romping around the yard or tagging along for a hike, I'm always up for an adventure! Now, let's talk about something important: my feelings about crates. Truth is, they stress me out a bit. But here's the thing, if I've got a human or dog friend with me, I seem to do better being left loose in the house. I prefer not to be left alone for too long. I'd love someone to be home with me most of the time, a dog to keep me company, or the ability to make friends at doggy daycare! When it comes to training, I know a few tricks like "sit," but I'm always eager to learn more. With a patient teacher and lots of positive reinforcement, I'm sure I'll be the perfect companion! Oh, and let's not forget about my favorite thing in the world: cuddles! I absolutely adore being around people, especially kids. I may be a big girl, but I think I'm a lapdog at heart. If you're looking for a loyal and affectionate companion, look no further - I'm right here waiting for you! My adoption fee is a minimum of $195, plus a $15 fee for rabies registration for McLean County residents aged four months or older. If you're ready to open your heart and home to a sweet and loving pup like me, let's make it official! She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives. For information about this dog's breed(s), visit: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/abc.htm To fill out our adoption application, go to: http://fs16.formsite.com/WishBoneCanineRescue/adoptionapplication/index.html Wish Bone Canine Rescue  1303 Morrissey Drive Bloomington, IL 61701 www.wishbonecaninerescue.org           Since its our desire that you have a pet you can enjoy a lifetime of love with you, we take special measures to ensure that the pet is the best match for you and your family.  We require that you complete our online www.wishbonecaninerescue.org (Please give us 24 hours to verify your information).
