About Leah

Leah came to the rescue as a stray, but it hasn't dimmed her personality. She's a medium to large dog, around 65 pounds, with a playful streak that belies her middle-aged status. Leah is curious about everything and her love for play means she brings plenty of energy to tug games and adventures—a solid match for adopters who want an active companion. After draining her energy, she’s the kind of dog who’s happy to settle in for a cozy nap. A cat-free home is a must for Leah. Her enthusiasm for life means adopters need to be thoughtful if there are young kids or elders prone to falls. Leah requires a meet-and-greet with every human and canine in the household before going home, to make sure everyone gets along. Think of Leah if you’re seeking a spunky, affectionate dog who needs a good outlet for her energy and a soft spot to land once she’s tuckered out. Click apply to start the adoption process.
