This 25-pound (and growing!) smart and curious girl is convinced she’s the star of the show. She’s smart, very food-motivated (snacks = instant genius) Leia is a social butterfly who gets along great with other dogs and absolutely thrives on attention and interaction. She’s still figuring out the world around her, so while her thoughts on cats and kiddos are still a mystery, her friendly and eager nature suggests she’ll be excited to make new friends of all kinds. Like any young pup, Leia is a work in progress when it comes to house training—but she’s already crate trained and doing great! She’s incredibly food motivated (treats = instant focus!) and loves learning new things, which makes training both fun and rewarding. She’s already picking up basic commands and is learning to walk nicely on a leash like a pro. With a medium energy level, Leia enjoys playtime and exploring, but she’s just as happy curling up for cuddles after a day of adventures. She’ll do best in a home with a fenced yard where she can safely run, play, and continue growing into her best self. Currently being fostered in Sioux Falls, Leia is ready to find a loving family who will help guide her, teach her, and shower her with all the love she deserves. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, and playful puppy to grow up with, Leia might just be your perfect match *AHCR cannot guarantee any breed/possible breed of the dogs in our care or the size they will be full grown.
