About Leah

Leah is a beautiful black-and-white Pit Bull mix, approximately 2 years old. She’s looking for a patient and understanding adopter who can help her grow into a confident companion. Previously, Leah lived with other dogs, including puppies, but she needs a stable environment to thrive. Limited exposure to new people and dogs has made her a bit anxious, so she will require a slow and gentle approach when meeting new friends. Her history includes a serious incident where she injured an older dog while unsupervised, highlighting the importance of secure containment and responsible supervision. Leah needs a secure yard and an owner committed to keeping a close eye on her. She may need a separate safe space during visits from new people to help her feel comfortable, and introductions with resident dogs are also recommended for a smooth transition. Leah is currently receiving medication for Valley Fever but hasn't let that affect her spirit. With the right person who can offer love, patience, and guidance, Leah has the potential to become a loyal and loving pet. If you think you might be the right fit, please come to Pima Animal Care Center to meet Leah. She deserves a chance to find her forever home! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
