ADOPTED ON 08-07-14: Loving and loyal, Linda came to us from a high kill shelter in Louisiana. She is a three year old, 46 pound, black lab mix.  She gets along well with children and other dogs of all sizes. Linda is looking for a forever couch to cuddle on. Linda’s pups were never found, we can only imagine what it must have been like for a mamma dog alone to feed and protect her babies. Whatever happened to her babies had happened quickly because when she and two other dogs were picked up by animal control at a Post Office in Winnsboro, LA on August 23, 2013, it was obvious she had been nursing.

LINDA’S FOSTER SENT IN THIS UPDATE: 

Linda’s is a wonderful dog and all she wants is love, her foster mom has told us. Mom says that whoever adopts Linda is going to get a great dog. She is house and crate trained; get along with her two dogs and every dog that comes over to visit. She finds Linda to be easy to trained and very willing to please.

The dogcatcher was sent back to look for her babies but none were found. She has spent the past seven months in a tiny cage only getting out twice a week when the volunteers go to walk the dogs.

It’s difficult to sum up a dog’s personality when they are in a dog pound, however, when the Winnsboro Dog Pound gets a new dog they are under the protection of a loving volunteer. Her primary focus is on two issues: physical health and temperament. She examines and analyzes the dog for any medical issues, and then she begins preventive medicine, de-worming and vaccinations right away. Linda was spayed on March 19, 2014; she has been fully vaccinated and de-wormed.

Once a new dog has settled into this very loud new environment at the dog pound, the founder starts the evaluation process and “pushes some buttons” to see what the dog is made of. Through that process Linda has passed every test. She listens to correction and will turn and look for direction when asked; she is a good dog with no behavioral problems.

Schoolchildren regularly volunteer to walk the dogs on leash. The older children volunteers often walk Linda and she has shown that she can be trusted.

While she has been under the supervision of the WDP, Linda enjoys the attention of people and other dogs. She has a moderate activity level and she is very responsive and easily corrected.

She is happy with a human by her side and will make someone out there a great friend. In return, she promises years of devotion and unconditional love.

PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO CHECK OUT THE SECTION BELOW

RDVG wants to provide you with as much information as we can because some of our mix breeds you might not be familiar with. The below section on “About the Breed” offers information on some of the Breed Characteristics, Children & Pets, Behavior and Personality, Temperament and more.

It is important to point out that in addition to the breed, there is an enormous variety in the way a dog acts and reacts to the world around him. In the end, your dog’s preferences and personality are as individual as you are–and if you can accept that– then you’re bound to enjoy each other.

Children & Pets

Animal Behavior Guidelines

Many children, especially very young ones, do not realize that pets are living animals and not toys. Failing to teach a child how to handle pets properly can result in suffering on the part of the pet and, in some cases, injury to the child. Taking introductions slowly will allow you to introduce family dogs and your children safely

Puppy Behavior, Growth & Development

Each stage of Puppy Growth and development is fascinating; by the time it reaches its first birthday a puppy is considered a mature, adult dog. Puppy Growth rate is fast compared to humans, just compare a puppy of 8 weeks to a baby of the same age.

One of the most common questions asked about a puppy’s growth and development rate refers to the eventual size of the puppy. How big will the puppy grow? How can you determine the adult size of a puppy? A young puppy is tiny and cute – everyone loves puppies! But will the puppy be suited to your environment? How much exercise will be required for a full grown dog? Will the puppy be a suitable pet for children? The breed of the puppy will determine the answers to these questions. A general response to the size and growth rate of a puppy and the adult size of a puppy is therefore not possible – it needs to be specific to the puppy’s breed.
