Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Leah, this little cute, sweet older little gal is looking for a new home. She would be a great companion for an older adult(s). Leah loves to go for walks, just be with her person in the yard and most of all cuddle on the couch. Leah is use to the company of other small dogs, large dogs put her on the defense. Leah is a dominant little gal so she doesn't do well with other females, however she is a bit of a flirt & loves the boys. Sadly, she has not adjusted well to her original home after a child entered the family unit. She needs a home with NO toddlers or small children! Children 12yrs and up are an unknown. Leah does show some food guarding when other dogs come near her bowl.
She is pretty calm and well behaved. Leah would would do best in a home with 1 or 2 adults. Leah is house trained, leash trained, crate trained + has learned quickly how to use a doggie door. Leah generally is eager to please her "person" and is smart and learns new routines pretty quickly . She's good on car rides and fine at home alone too. Leah is past the playful puppy stage, although sometimes has initial curiosity when a new toy is introduced. She more in the cuddly/lounging/sunbathing stage of life these days.

More about this rescue
I am a very, very small, independent dog rescue with limited space. . . I have been doing rescue since 2000. In the past, I have pulled dogs from our local shelter that had failed temperment, or were out of time and at risk to be euthanized. However, these days I've been running full with dogs which are abandoned and/or owner surrenders.
I started doing rescue by fostering two sibling pups from our local shelter, who'd run out of time...been doing it ever since.
I have only had one foster home in the past,however, for the past several years, I am solo, which limits me on the number of dogs I'm able to take in to rescue and care for.
Whenever possible, if an owner is able to foster their own f of, I will assist in the reforming - this includes screening, the home visit + placement in addition to ensuring the dog is current on shots, heartworm, flea prevention + has been neutered/spayed.
