About Leeloo

Leeloo is the sort of dog that pulls people in at first glance and keeps winning them over with her devotion every day after. Her thick white fur, pale blue eyes, and always-pink, usually-dirty nose turn heads whenever she steps outside. She works a sidewalk like a pro—if you catch her eye, she's just as likely to crawl over and show her belly without waiting for an invitation. Born deaf, Leeloo has made it her superpower. She watches her people closely, picks up cues from light and vibration, and responds to a solid slate of hand signals—sit, lay down, drop it, come, stop, inside. Out on walks and in the yard, she tends to stay glued to her people, except at her favorite park, where she transforms into pure frisbee energy (really, who wouldn't?). Her hearing loss clearly hasn’t held her back; it's just made her more tuned-in to the people she loves than most hearing dogs. Leeloo is six, swims like a champ, and lives for the next game in the water or the yard. She's current on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and fits in well with people of any age, other dogs, and even cats. There’s a lot more to her story, and anyone interested should plan to stick around awhile—she never seems to run out of reasons to love her. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
