My name is Lindy and I’m looking for my forever home. I’m 6-y.o. and weigh 20 lbs. I’m a love bug! I’m goofy and friendly and fun. I came to my home in Troy, MO, from a commercial breeding facility where I worked hard making puppies. But that life is behind me now and I couldn’t be happier! I love getting attention and affection from my foster family. I am a happy and healthy girl – spayed and vaccinated too! I love being with other dogs. I like to play with them and lay near them. I’m a good girl – smart too! I’m so smart that I figured out how to dig a hole and squeeze under the fence so I could play with the neighbor dogs. Foster mom was not so happy about that. Whoops. She told me that my forever family will need to keep an eye on me when I’m outside and may attention when opening doors or gates so I don’t slip out and go on an unauthorized adventure. I love the little human kids who live here and love it when they pet me and give me treats. I enjoy playing in the fenced yard and going for leash walks. Sometimes loud traffic noises make me nervous, but I’m getting used to them. I’m a good girl when left alone in my crate when foster mom has to go out. Sometimes I sing myself a song at first when I’d rather be out playing, but then I settle in. She says that once I’m fully adjusted to my forever home, I’d probably do fine free-roaming since I’m not destructive. I’m almost fully potty trained. I know that outside is the place for going potty, but I haven’t learned how to let foster mom know when I need to go NOW. So having me on a regular potty schedule at first should do the trick. My perfect forever home would be just about anywhere where there are patient humans who will help me continue to blossom and thrive. They’ll need to be understanding as I adjust to new surroundings, but once I do, I’ll make you so proud! If you have another nice dog and/or children to play with, that would be awesome! My foster mom thinks I’d thrive in a home that doesn’t share walls, since I am sometimes vocal. If you live in the Midwest and want a pretty, silly, happy girl like me to bring a smile to your face, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA learn more about you and your home environment so they can make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, they’ll introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet. Oh boy! I can’t wait!
