They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Leia is a lovely, young mixed-breed dog currently fostered in Houston, TX, with transport available to Austin or out of state, especially northern areas. This sweet girl has a beautiful, sleek black coat with a splash of white on her chest and charming floppy ears that perfectly complement her warm amber eyes. DNA results reveal she is a wonderful combination of labrador retriever, pit bull terrier, and german shepherd, making her both striking and unique. Leia’s story is one of resilience and hope. Alongside her brother Luke, she braved weeks on the streets searching for shelter and nourishment. Once rescued, she was exhausted but grateful for a safe place to rest and recover. Over time, Leia’s gentle and affectionate personality truly shone through. She’s now spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and heartworm negative. Leia is house trained—often ringing the bell at the door when she needs to go out—and is also crate trained for naps and bedtime. Leia truly blossoms when she has other dogs around, big or small, and is especially gentle with little ones. Though she can be timid initially, she’s playful and fun-loving once she feels comfortable. This sweet girl delights in digging, chew toys, sunbathing, playing hard, and rolling around for belly rubs. She learns quickly—she even mastered "sit" faster than her brother—and is not at all food aggressive. An ideal family would provide Leia with a canine companion and a yard to play in, helping her feel secure and fulfilled after her hard start to life. With patience and love, Leia will reward her people with unwavering loyalty and trust. If you would like more details about Leia's temperament, Man’s Best Friend partners with Woof Pack Rescue and can offer direct insight. Leia is ready to start the next happy chapter of her story—when she locks eyes with you, she’ll melt your heart! Make their next chapter their best one yet.
