Meet Lynn

Looking forward and not looking back takes resilience and commitment. Lynn has both of these and her thriving spirit will not relent. Lynn comes into rescue with the help of chance and luck. It was witnessed that she was dumped/thrown from a truck. Scared and unfamiliar with her surroundings, she was rescued and brought to safety. Lynn dreams now of finding her forever family. Lynn is a 3-year-old Fiest/Terrier mix weighing around 35 pounds. That places her in the medium size category for her weight class. She feels that she is not too big or too small but rather just right. Her experience has left her a shy girl with initial introductions, but she is learning that life can be loving and kind. Positive interactions are the key to helping her relax as she learns to adjust. In the meantime, Lynn is good with other dogs, children and adults. She does well with friendly interactions and would benefit from regular exercise, continued training and socialization. Lynn has not had the opportunity to meet a cat since coming into rescue so it remains unknown if she would be accepting of a feline in her life. Lynn walks like a dream on a leash with leash walks being beneficial to her and her owner as it offers exploration, socialization, and bonding opportunities. She is currently working on her house and crate training. Whatever her past was, Lynn is not letting it hold her back to finding her dream family. TLC will go a long way with this girl front and center in your life. Fill out an application today and start the next chapter in her life book. * When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability. The adoption fee for Lynn is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees. To get the ball rolling, head over to our Adoption Application and submit your application today. A Dog Star representative will contact you within 24 hours.
