In the shelter’s words

Meet Leslie! A sweet and playful one-year-old Anatolian Shepherd mix currently in Phelan, CA, whose adorable face, uniquely colored eyes, and beautiful tan coat with a dark face and white accents make her impossible to forget. Weighing around 70 pounds, Leslie is a big girl with an even bigger heart! She's friendly, affectionate, and always happy to make new friends, whether they have two legs or four. This lovable girl gets along wonderfully with people and other dogs, bringing her cheerful personality wherever she goes! Leslie has a delightful balance of playful energy and easygoing charm. She loves a good round of zoomies, racing around with pure joy before settling into her comfortable, medium-energy rhythm. Her absolute favorite toys are Kong stuffed animals, and she's always ready for some fun with her beloved plush companions. Whether she's enjoying playtime, exploring the neighborhood, or hopping into the car for an adventure, Leslie knows how to make everyday moments special! This clever girl already knows sit, stay, and come, even without formal obedience training. She's house-trained, responds when called, and handles short periods alone comfortably. With continued positive reinforcement, she'll have wonderful opportunities to build on her existing skills. Leslie needs at least two walks daily to keep her happy and active. Her new family should enjoy spending time outdoors while also appreciating her calmer side once she's finished playing. She's friendly with other dogs, although her compatibility with cats and children hasn't yet been determined. Leslie is healthy, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. She has no known medical concerns or challenging behaviors, just a wonderfully sweet personality and a face full of character! Above all, Leslie is a genuinely good girl who brings warmth, laughter, and companionship to the people around her. She's ready to share exciting outings, playful afternoons, and peaceful evenings with a caring family who will appreciate her joyful spirit and loving nature. Could Leslie be the lovable, zoomie-loving companion your family has been waiting to welcome home? To learn more about adopting Leslie, contact adopt@joyfulpets.com!
