About Leah

Leah is a 2-year-old black-and-white Pit Bull mix who is seeking a loving home that understands her needs. She came to the Pima Animal Care Center (PACC) after her previous family struggled to keep her and other dogs contained, which led to an unfortunate incident involving another dog. Leah has experienced some challenges, particularly with meeting new people, so she requires a slow and gentle introduction to anyone entering her space. It's essential for her future home to provide secure containment and supervision, especially outdoors where she may feel anxious. Though Leah can be cautious in new situations, with the right approach, she has the potential to shine as a loyal companion. She needs an adopter who can offer patience and guidance, helping her learn how to navigate the world comfortably. Leah has been making strides in her behavior assessment, showing promise as she learns how to walk on a leash. She had limited interaction with unfamiliar animals but was generally tolerant of others in her playgroup. Leah is currently undergoing treatment for Valley Fever but this doesn’t define her spirit. If you're ready to commit to her safety and emotional growth, Leah just might be the perfect fit for you. Don’t hesitate to visit PACC to meet this deserving pup. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
