the next 8 months in a cage. He is the sweetest guy so we just had to pull him out of this situation and show him that there is life beyond those 4 walls. Lincoln is a gorgeous boy - we are unsure of his mix but he is around 60 lbs and a lovely lanky boy. From his foster mom: A Gentle Soul Looking for a Patient and Loving Home Hi, my name is Lincoln. I'm an introvert with humans, but don't let that discourage you. I thrive in the company of other dogs, and I would especially love to find a home with another dog who likes to play. However, I am open to being the only dog as well. I am curious and indifferent to cats. Overall, I can be quite shy until I trust you. Like many human introverts, I take time to warm up to new people, situations and environments. I prefer the company of a few people that I can get close to. However, when I am comfortable and confident, I become goofy, silly, and playful. I even enjoy cuddling in bed. Recently, I have started to snuggle with my foster mom before she falls asleep. Once I am certain that she is going to have sweet dreams, I put myself in my crate for the night until it’s time to wake her, so she doesn’t oversleep. While I prefer to stay in familiar surroundings with those I trust, I enjoy car rides, and I travel really well. I might even make a good travel buddy for a long-haul trucker. As for walks, until I walk enough away from the car or the house, I am focused on getting back to my familiar surroundings but once far enough away I walk, sniff and stay on alert. I do better when I walk with another dog. If I get scared on a walk, I lay down for a moment, but with a gentle nudge, I am ready to move on. I also recommend that you keep your shoes away from me. While I haven't damaged any yet, I have been caught taking and beginning to play with them. I have been with my foster mom since March 2025, and I have come a long way. When I first arrived, I wouldn’t let her touch me. Now, I often seek her affection especially in the morning and when she lets me out of crate. By the way, I am also potty and crate trained. While I may not be your couch snuggle buddy immediately, I will be your encouragement to get outside and your companion for a walk. I am looking for a pet parent(s) who will be patient with me and help me gain confidence and trust in humans. I also need them to accept and love me for the amazing, sweet boy that I am. Are you the kind and patient person who can offer me the loving home I deserve? If so, I can't wait to meet you and start our journey together. Lincoln is vaccinated, chipped and neutered. His adoption fee is $450 We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495. Thank you for stepping up to save a life! To expedite to meet with this dog, please go to our site at .savinggreatanimals and fill out an application. We look at the first applications to arrive, so we hope to hear from you soon!

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
