My story

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

DOB: 1/11/17               Approx. Weight: 13.84 Lbs

Adoption Fee: $ 250 includes a 2 week trial to ensure everyone's happiness!

Leia is such a a sweet and gentle girl. She loves being with you and following you everywhere. She may be quite shy at first but once she feels at home she has a spunky side too. She hasn't really shown any interest in toys. She goes potty outside very well but still isn't fully house trained but will use potty pads. She is not skilled at going up and down stairs yet. She gets along great with her foster siblings. She would make an excellent cuddle bug. 

Leia was released by a breeder.  She had a small fracture in her jaw and an abscess under a tooth when she arrived in our care.  It has been healing over the last 10 weeks and there has been progression with bone development bridging the fracture and her jaw is now strong, the abscess has also healed.  Due to the fracture Leia could not have a complete dental.  There is still a tooth that needs to be removed that was too close to the fracture and the vet didn't want to cause more damage by removing it. She suggests that in 9 months she have it re-checked and have the tooth removed. If taken to our vet to have this done Furry Kids' will cover the procedure. 

Leia does not walk on a leash so she will need a secured area or fenced yard to potty.

I have been spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative and microchipped.  If you are interested in adopting me, please complete the adoption application located at www.furrykidsrefuge.org/adoptadog and a dedicated volunteer will get back to you as soon as possible.
