Foster Friday: Lin

This week we will meet Lin, another Dogs 2nd Chance amazing foster. Lin, a legal assistant specializing in bankruptcy and family law, got involved with Dogs 2nd Chance in July of 2008. Her first foster was Sweetie, an older beagle mix, who ended up becoming part of Lin’s family. Since that time she has fostered over 20 dogs!! Wow!

Lin enjoys fostering because of the satisfaction she feels when a sad, lonely pup goes to a loving caring home. She comments, “Even those we get as pups, could have very well ended up in a life of misery, so even though they have never known hunger and neglect, it is still a good feeling to know they will be cared for.”

Lin has lived all over the US including Alaska, Hawaii, Texas, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and now Millington, TN where she, her son, her grandson, and 12 dogs reside.

Her most memorable dog, Hercules, is now in the prison program and may become a therapy dog. Hercules was a lovable, gangly 8 month old golden lab mix puppy who wanted to learn and be loved. Sounds like he found the perfect spot!

Currently Lin is fostering KD and Rover. KD is an older Finish Spitz/Chow mix and very mellow.

KD

Rover is a golden lab mix who you may have heard about if you are familiar with the Dogs 2nd Chance organization. Rover is the dog who had a rubber band wrapped around his tail, which he ended up skinning. Poor buddy had to have his tail amputated at the base of the spine! He is still very very active and loves people. He would be good in a single dog home since he’s not too fond of other dogs.
