Leia

My story

Meet Leia – Our Little Princess with a Heart of Gold Leia’s story began in the unlikeliest of places—a local ballpark, where she showed up with her two puppies, all trying to survive the sweltering summer heat. As fate would have it, the director of our rescue was there that day and couldn’t leave them behind. Covered in fleas and ticks, hungry and exhausted, they were scooped up and given the care, love, and cool air they desperately needed. With just a few days of TLC, warm meals, and medical care and prevention, their personalities began to shine—and Leia’s especially. She’s the perfect size at around 30 pounds and estimated to be just 1.5 to 2 years old. Calm and composed, Leia fits seamlessly into her foster home, which includes a pack of playful dogs, noisy kids, and even chickens. She’s adjusted like a champ. Leia may not have had much attention or affection in her past, but she takes it in gently and sweetly, soaking up belly rubs and curling into the comfiest spot on the couch like it’s always been hers. She’s a little nervous on leash and in the car, which hints at the possibility she was abandoned—but we know all she needs is patience, love, and a little time to bloom in a forever home.
