About Leia

Leia is a young shepherd mix born April 12, 2023. She weighs around 66 pounds now and sports a striking bicolor black coat with a classic shepherd look and a medium length coat. Leia’s first months weren’t easy—she and her littermates were abandoned, but she hasn’t let that dull her spirit. She’s playful, especially enjoys water, and will leap at any chance to swim or splash in a lake or stream. When playtime's over, she’s quick to curl up for some good snuggles and a nap. Leia is very affectionate and enjoys being around other dogs, making her a great candidate for a multi-dog household. She’s never lived with cats but with her age and temperament, she could adjust well if introduced properly. Leia is house trained and making solid progress with her crate training. She’s spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations, so she’s ready for her new beginning. In Tomball, TX, Leia is hoping to find an adopter who enjoys some outdoor adventure and appreciates a loving, cuddly companion. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
