My story

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

Hi, I’m Leia! I’m a 7-month-old medium mix pup (with a touch of husky) weighing 47 pounds, and I’m ready to bring joy, energy, and plenty of laughs into your life. I’m spayed, vaccinated, crate trained, leash trained, and house trained. I’m friendly, submissive, and love meeting new people—I’ll happily greet everyone with my tail wagging.

I’m a high-energy pup who thrives on playtime and adventure. Tug-of-war with my rope toy, chasing squeaky balls, kicking around my soccer ball, or splashing in sprinklers and the water hose—those are my favorite ways to spend the day. If I want you to join in, I’ll poke you with a toy until you get the hint! I’m a good eater, I love treats, and I especially enjoy having body contact with my people while I chew on my toys.

I’m sweet and submissive, but I’ve got a little sass too—I’ll “talk back” when corrected, which makes people laugh. On walks, I love to stop, sit, and observe the world around me. People think I was trained to do this, but it’s just my natural curiosity.

I’d do best in an active family with a big yard where I can run and run. Because I can be a little mouthy, I’d be happiest with older kids who understand how to interact with dogs. I get along well with other dogs, and while I haven’t been tested with cats yet, I’m open to meeting them.

When I was very young, I broke my leg. It healed a little crooked, so I walk with a slight limp—but it doesn’t slow me down one bit. I can keep up with the best of them! I sleep soundly in my crate all night, travel well once I’m in the car (though I might resist getting in at first), and I tolerate baths like a champ.

I’m currently in Fayetteville, NC, but I can be transported out of state for the right home (transport fees apply). If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining companion who will keep you smiling every day, I’m your girl.

More about this rescue

Our Mission​

Operation Save A Shelter Dog is a foster based, IRS-recognized 501c(3) rescue whose mission is to work with shelters on the East Coast by saving dogs at high risk of euthanasia or that have little hope of adoption in their current condition. Not only is it our goal to find furever homes for our dogs, but also to educate the public on the importance of spaying, neutering, vaccinating and providing preventative care for their pets.
