Leona is looking for either a foster or a forever home. She's a 1-year-old Collie/Shepherd mix weighing in at 54 lbs, picked up as a stray from an overcrowded shelter. Her fox-like looks and expressive face immediately stand out, but it's her big personality that really sets her apart. Smart and affectionate, Leona blends sweetness with a streak of goofiness and a constant hunger for adventure. She doesn’t just enjoy being busy—she needs it. Hiking, exploring, and plenty of mental stimulation will help her thrive. Leona gets along well with other dogs and enjoys playing, though her play style is on the rougher, more dominant side. She’ll do best with confident canine companions who can keep up with her energy and aren’t bothered by her being a bit bossy. Because she’s still working on basic manners and can be physically strong, she’ll need continued training and plenty of guidance. A densely-packed city or hectic environment isn’t right for her—she’ll be happiest in a home with some space to burn off steam and a reliable routine to help her feel secure. Leona is ideal for someone with working breed experience who can match her activity level and invest in her ongoing development. She’s already spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. If you want a big-hearted, lively partner for all your outdoor plans, Leona might just fit the bill. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
