About Leia
Leia, named after Princess Leia, is a young German Shepherd mix with a big personality and a soft, medium-length coat. At roughly 10 months old, Leia weighs about 80 lbs and is still growing. She’s playful and social with dogs of all sizes, and she does particularly well in a home with another young, active dog to match her energy. Leia enjoys spending time in a decent-sized yard, chasing birds and squirrels, and curling up for naps close by—though she’s more independent than a typical cuddle-bug. She’s proven to be gentle with kids aged 10 and up, but hasn’t been exposed to younger children or cats yet, so a bit of caution is best in those areas. Leia knows how to ask to go outside for bathroom breaks but will need someone to continue her leash training and reinforce house skills as she settles into her new environment. Like most shepherds, her mouthiness means families should be ready to keep her engaged and keep tempting things out of reach. An experienced big-dog adopter is a must for Leia; she’ll thrive with dedicated training, structure, and continued socialization. She’s not a fan of water or baths but doesn’t mind the rain. You get a dog who wants to be with her people—but is okay just being nearby instead of on top of you. They’re waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
