Hi, I'm Linda.  My buddy, Pearl and I were roaming around the countryside together, but then we got separated and Pearl ended up at the shelter first.  After wandering for awhile, one day I decided I wanted to be inside so I opened the door of a house that I came upon and went right in.  I think the lady of the house was a little shocked that I walked through her living room one day while she was sitting on the sofa reading her newspaper and sipping her coffee. So, that is how I too ended up at the shelter.  I'm a little shy when I first meet new people, but then I quickly warm up.  I would love to find a forever home where I will be loved and included in family activities.
