Leah
Leah is a fine wine who needs time to shine. She is quite a lovely dog and brings so many smiles to the home once given time to trust and feel safe. You can tell when she is in a playful mood as she hops like a little bunny and wags her happy body over to see you! She is finally learning how wonderful the world can be and really loves to be loved. She is not a demanding dog, and will happily find a comfy bed to curl up in if you are busy. She will be a quiet wallflower, but if you give her room to blossom, watch out, cause she will blind you with her happiness.
We believe Leah would be happiest to live with a couple or single person, eager to be a best friend. She does love to play with the other dogs in her foster home, so if you do not have another dog in the home, it would be really great if you have some doggy pals she could get together with regularly. When curled up in a bed, she does like to be left alone by the other dogs and will give them a bark to advise she is resting if they are pushy (she lives with a pushy pup). She likes her leashed walks, but she’s still nervous out and about, so having a a safely fenced in space to unwind is essential. She is not a demanding dog, but may bark when left. She is crate trained, and should not be left loose as she can be curious and chew the wrong thing!
Leah is a sweetly shy girl who needs a loving and kind human in her life. She is very food motivated, eager to make you happy and while she is not pushy for your love, she is definitely ready to accept it!
