(Chicago) Lynda's Human Companion Died; Needs a New One
Lynda's 85-year-old human companion recently died, so she is in desperate need of a new pal. Lynda is an 8-year-old (spayed) long-haired Dutch Shepherd. She obviously misses her previous owner, but I feel confident that after a period of adjustment with a (patient) new owner she will prove to be a loyal and loving companion. She is not an incessant barker, but does have a "territorial" bark. She has never been around children or other pets so I doubt she would do well in either environment. I walk Lynda three times a day and hang out with her whenever I can, but I have two dogs and a cat of my own so I cannot "adopt" Lynda. We are on the northwest side of Chicago but I would be more than happy to bring Lynda wherever (within reason, of course!) if you or someone you know would be interested in meeting her. Please spread the word for Lynda; she is such a sweet dog and she deserves a good, loving home. loneil12@yahoo.com Thanks.

Re: (Chicago) Lynda's Human Companion Died; Needs a New One
Beautiful pictures. I am so glad she got to enrich someone's life.
Is she being called a long haired dutch shepherd based on known pedigree? Or assumption based on look? The reason I ask is that most LH are FCI and the breed club would absolutely step up and help an FCI dog. But based on the pictures, I am having a hard time placing her.

Re: (Chicago) Lynda's Human Companion Died; Needs a New One
Thanks for your post, Christie. My neighbor rescued Lynda from an abusive owner when the dog was about one year old. We have no way of knowing Lynda's actual make-up. My use of the words "long-haired" was only meant to describe her hair length. Please forgive me if my post was misleading in any way.
LH, SH, pedigree, mix, etc. aside...bottom line: Lynda needs a home.

Re: (Chicago) Lynda's Human Companion Died; Needs a New One
I just viewed many pictures of long-haired Dutch Shepherds and I must say that Lynda looks VERY much like all of the DS I saw.
That said, I will take more photos, this time outside for better lighting, in order to try and present what I now feel confident to be true: Lynda IS a long-haired DS.
