About Leni

Leni is a four-month-old Husky/Cattle Dog mix living in Baytown, TX, with a tricolor coat of brown, black, and white. She’s the quietest and most reserved of her litter, hanging back until she feels safe, but opens up into a gentle, playful companion once she’s comfortable. Leni has a soft, sweet nature, and she loves playing with her siblings and other dogs. She’s also wonderful with kids, making her a great fit for a family with children or other dogs at home. Her ideal family is patient and active, with a secure fenced backyard for her to explore. Leni would benefit from having a confident adult dog to show her the ropes, as she gains a lot of confidence from canine friends. She’s house trained, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and scheduled to be spayed. Because she’s naturally shy, she needs gentle handling and positive training to bring out her best self. Leni is fostered in Texas but can be transported to approved adopters in the Midwest, Northeast, and Canada. If you want a loving, loyal dog who will bond deeply and grow with your family, Leni is ready to start her journey with you. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
