About Leela

Leela is a gentle little dog with a big heart once she gets to know you. At first, she’s a bit wary of new people, preferring to keep her distance until she feels safe. With some time and quiet patience, she loves curling up in your lap and soaking up affection. She isn’t the best fit for a home with other dogs or cats, but she does well around children who understand to move slowly. Her short tan coat keeps things low-maintenance, and she’s fully house trained. Give this shy Chihuahua/Bulldog mix warmth and understanding, and she’ll become a loyal cuddler.
