Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello to all you two-legged creatures out there, my name is Leia! I am a sweet girl from Wrentham, MA who is looking for a best friend and fur-ever home. At 3-years old, I”m a smaller pittie mix at a slim 60 pounds. Prepared to be dazzled by my brindle coat, cute expressions, and affectionate nature.
If cuddling was an extreme sport, I’d win a gold medal. I’d love to sit by my person's side and be a loyal companion. I can help with gardening too, but will take many breaks to roll around the yard. I have a penchant to wiggle in the grass on my back. It’s a good way to stretch and make people smile.
I’m a breeze to train due to my motivation to work for treats. Cookie anyone? I’m glad to offer my paw or sit for a tasty confection. I come ready as I’m spayed, UTD on shots, and house-trained. I also walk well on-leash. And, I come with references! At the boarding house, where I’m living, the staff truly enjoy their time with me and say I’m a very smart girl who greets them with kisses and tail wags. Fun Fact: I am doing better in a kennel than my old home. What does that tell you? My advocates say I am a true sweetheart. They believe I will do very well with a more responsible owner who will guide and support me.
I believe in honesty so I must disclose some baggage from my past. I experienced trauma from living in an apartment full of commotion, with kids who were not very nice to me and crazy canines who I got into “paw”-ltercations with. The bad karma from my experiences makes me anxious around kids. I’m embarrassed to say I bit a child who needed three stitches. I know that’s bad but the trainer lady said I showed good bite inhibition despite my past abuse. If you guessed that I need a child-free and pet-free home, you’d be right. :(
Although I have an unhappy history, I am very home-able for the right person and environment. If we’re a match with the same simple lifestyle, you can be sure I will not disappoint my adoptive pet parents. Do you like stability and a routine? I do! Not fond of surprises? Me either! Have a yard? Yippee! My goal is to be a companion to someone who will be a companion for me, something I never had.
Please give me a chance, I am seriously running out of time. I’m sure I’d thrive in a home where I am treated well. Please apply by copying this link into your browser! Tell them Animal Rescue Konnection (ARK) sent you!
