In the shelter’s words
Leia (named after Princess Leia) is a shepherd mix, and has been available for adoption for THREE YEARS. She came to us as a PUPPY (DOB 12/21/2023) and is a sweet, independent and young adult shepherd now. She’s about 80lbs with a soft medium fur coat. Leia is super playful with dogs, likes to have a good sized yard, so far good with most dogs big & small, good with kids 10+, not sure about younger kids as she is a normal mouthy shepherd. No exposure to cats yet but likes to chase birds and squirrels. SHE IS DESPERATE for A HOME!She would do best in a home with other dogs as a play companion or a medium active family- she likes her naps! Leia doesn’t like water or baths, but likes rain. She likes to be near her people but not overly licking or long periods of snuggling. She likes to nap, lay and sleep independently nearby. Leia is just learning leash training so that will need to be continued in her new home. She is potty trained to an open sliding door in her current foster home. Looking for an experienced big breed owner for this beautiful shepherd mix! Training & socialization are super important for a big breed owner and will be absolutely need to be continued by a dedicated owner. Please remember - all dogs will need potty training continued in a new home. No dog is accident proof, so homes must be young dog-proofed & ready before adoption. cause4sbpaws@gmail.com
