My name is Leah, and I am a gentle soul still learning that the world is not as frightening as it once seemed. I came to the shelter after spending my early days in a home where loud noises and new faces made my heart race, leaving me nervous and uncertain. But here, surrounded by patient souls who understand that some of us need time and space to bloom, I have begun to discover my own quiet bravery. Each kind word spoken softly, each gentle hand offered without rushing, helps me realize that trust is worth the risk. What I cherish most are long, peaceful moments and the comfort of a reassuring presence. I love the security of a calm environment where I can simply be. I do best as the only dog in a home, where I won't feel anxious about sharing space with other pups. I am looking for a patient, understanding family who will celebrate the small victories with me, speak in gentle tones, and give me the quiet home where I can finally flourish. I am fully grown at ~49lbs. How did I get here? Surrendered by my owner when they could no longer care for me. **I am currently living in a foster home - please fill out a survey and select a phone appointment to complete the adoption process. Once that process is complete, your adoption specialist will schedule a time for you to meet me in person!** ~My adoption fee is $120.00.~
