About Leah

Meet Leah, a small but mighty two-year-old Chihuahua mix weighing in at 9.5 pounds. This little shadow has made quite an impression since arriving from Texas, quickly finding her place in her foster home. Leah is sweet, smart, and loves to follow her foster mom from room to room. She’s currently enjoying life with other dogs, forming a playful bond with her canine sibling. Leah appears to be house trained and is obedient, often responding well to commands. While she’s not a big fan of being crated, she accepts it and prefers to cuddle up close in bed. Her energy levels are low to moderate; Leah is delighted with some playtime followed by a long nap. A note on Leah’s health: she is heartworm positive and will start treatment on 11/10/26. The rescue will manage her medical needs, so her adopter will only need to provide a cozy, calming environment for her recovery. Leah prefers indoor living and gets cold easily, so a few sweaters would be perfect for her wardrobe. She thrives as a devoted indoor companion, ready to share the couch and enjoy squeaky toys. Leah does well with other dogs, making a friendly canine sibling a great match. Spayed and eager to find her forever home, Leah is the loyal little companion you’ve been searching for.
