Lindy is Looking For: Her forever home! This pretty girl and her sister Lida enjoyed growing up together but now they'e ready to split up and get their own homes.

And then pets and cuddles and belly scritches at the end of a fun day together. And she'll want quality kibble and a cushy dog bed. Most of all, though, she wants to know she's safe and loved. In exchange she promises all the adoring gazes and happy tail wags she's storing up, and loyal companionship for all her days. What do you say?
