About Leona

Leona is an adorable little girl with a vibrant personality. As a Chihuahua mix, she’s likely around 1 to 2 years old, full of energy and ready to play. She weighs about 7.6 pounds and has a spunky spirit that makes her a joy to be around. Leona is house-trained, though she’ll need to go outside regularly to reinforce her training. A securely fenced yard would be great, but she walks like a champ on a leash and loves her outdoor adventures. This playful pup thrives in an active environment, ideally with a canine buddy who matches her enthusiasm. Leona gets along well with her foster siblings, but her playful nature means she needs a dog that can match her energy and skilled supervision during play. Leona enjoys chewing on antler bones and tearing colorful wool balls apart, showing her fun side as she plays. Although she can be cautious around new people, Leona warms up quickly, especially if treats are involved. She sleeps soundly at night and is quiet for the most part, though she can be chatty when she wants attention. Leona is crate-trained but may need some extra support in her new home. Given her small size and energetic spirit, Leona will do best with a family experienced with her breed or similar dogs. A home with adults is ideal, or responsible older children who understand her needs. If you’re in the Central Florida/Orlando area and have the time and patience to help Leona thrive, apply today.
