About Leah

Leah is a black and brown Rottweiler who has spent her life alongside her brother Boaz. At 3.5 years old, she's grown up as a house dog around children, but due to shifting family priorities, she now spends long hours alone with little company. Leah is loving and gentle with her own family, respectful of kids, and house trained—never an outdoor-only dog. She craves affection, especially belly rubs and scratches on her back, and will gladly eat just about anything. Socialization outside her immediate circle has been minimal; Leah tends to be wary of strangers, especially those with sunglasses or hats, and sometimes greets visitors with barks until she feels safe. While Leah hasn't lived with cats and her experience with other dogs is limited, she and her brother enjoy basic obedience, knowing commands like sit, stay, and come. Leash skills need some practice, as do manners like jumping up on familiar people. Outdoors, Leah and Boaz have a playful streak and will dig if bored. Neither dog is spayed or current on vaccines. They're located in Redmond, WA, and can be adopted either together or separately, with a focus on finding a home committed to their well-being. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
