My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Leila!

A lovely 9-year-old female Shepherd Mix residing in Washington, D.C. Leila is a charming companion, and her endearing personality makes her a wonderful addition to the right family!

Leila's warm and affectionate nature shines through in every interaction. She adores her humans and is quick to snuggle up beside you for a cozy nap. This loyal canine is friendly to strangers, greeting them with a wagging tail and an open heart. Playfulness is in her DNA, and she'll happily stick by your side, making every moment a joyous one!

Leila's intelligence and receptiveness to training make her an ideal companion. She's mastered commands like sit, stay, come, down, and even high-five. This quick learner is always eager to please, which makes training and bonding with her a delightful experience!

Leila's enthusiasm for life doesn't stop at training; she's also an active dog who loves to run in the yard. She'll be your loyal exercise partner, always up for a game of fetch. Leila's playful spirit is further evident when she's enjoying her cherished chew and tug toys. You'll often find her tossing them in the air, showcasing her playful nature.

Leila has demonstrated some reactivity around other dogs while on a leash, yet she could potentially thrive with certain dogs given appropriate introductions. To support her ongoing confidence and training, Leila would benefit from a household led by an experienced dog person or family. Having a fenced-in yard is crucial for her to release energy and ensure her safety.

Leila is a medium-sized dog at 48lbs and, is up to date with her vaccinations, spayed, and microchipped, ensuring her well-being. She's ready to embark on a new journey with a loving family who can provide her with the attention and care she deserves.

If you're looking for an affectionate, intelligent, and active companion, Leila might just be the perfect match for you. Give this sweet Shepherd mix a chance to become a cherished member of your family!
