Lincoln

Meet Lincoln!<br/><br/>Sweet Lincoln was transferred to us from an overcrowded animal shelter in CA. He arrived there as a stray when he was just 5 months old and spent 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.<br/><br/>From his foster mom:<br/><br/>A Gentle Soul Looking for a Patient and Loving Home<br/>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.<br/>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.<br/>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.<br/>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.<br/>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.<br/>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.<br/><br/>Lincoln is vaccinated, chipped and neutered. His adoption fee is $450<br/><br/>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!<br/><br/>To expedite to meet with this dog, please go to our site at www.savinggreatanimals.org and fill out an application. We look at the first applications to arrive, so we hope to hear from you soon!
