Story
Meet Leia! 🌟🐾 Leia is a 5-year-old, sweetheart with a playful spirit and a heart full of love. This 60-pound beauty is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all her vaccines—she even comes with a lifetime transferable vaccine program through AZ Pet Vet! Leia’s birthday is March 15, 2020, making her a Pisces, so it’s no surprise she’s a mix of fun and chill vibes. She’s a medium-energy pup who adores squeaky toys, playing with balls, and relaxing on the couch for a cozy movie night. She also loves being brushed—perfect for bonding time! This clever girl knows her name and commands like sit, shake, and is housebroken and dog door trained. Leash walking is a work in progress. While she’s not a fan of the pool, Leia is a champ during bath time! Leia loves car rides and effortlessly hops right in and settles down. Leia shines as the center of attention and would thrive in a home where she’s the only dog. She loves people and would do best with older kids since she hasn’t had much experience with toddlers. If you would like to schedule a meet and greet with Leia, please email Paula at spwheels1@gmail.com

Story
Meet our sweet 10-year-old girl. She absolutely loves walks, being outside, and having space to play. She’s still very playful and honestly seems much younger than her age. She’s incredibly sweet-natured, a little skittish at times, but we believe that comes from not getting the exercise and attention she truly deserves right now. She does well with kids, though she’s more indifferent than affectionate — if a child tries to pet her, she’ll usually just walk away rather than react. She’s not much of a cuddler, but she loves companionship, playtime, and being active. I would love to find her a family that genuinely enjoys daily walks, outdoor time, and maybe even another dog friend to play with. She deserves a home where she can really thrive and get the attention she needs in this stage of her life.
