About Leah

Meet Leah Sweet Leah. This young dog has had a tough life until now. She and her sister Gracie came in months ago. Leah (and Gracie) was so shut down, barely lifting their heads off the ground and shaking in fear whenever anyone was nearby. We have no idea of the trauma they suffered, but every day they get a bit braver and are ready to find their forever homes. Leah is a hound mix. She's one-year old and is of medium size, weighing about 30 lbs. She has a beautiful reddish colored coat with long legs. Her eyes are penetrating and dark, rimmed in eyeliner, and her ears show that she might have some beagle in her. For months volunteers and staff have been working with the sisters to overcome their fear. One special volunteer has worked wonders, getting Leah into the yard where she loves the sunshine and rolling in the grass. Leah wants nothing more than to belong and to feel wanted and safe. She follows this volunteer around and shows what a great dog she is. Leah is so sweet. She has never ever been aggressive in her fear. She is so gentle. Leah is learning to walk on a leash. She'll do best with a fenced yard so she can be outside safely. She might enjoy another dog in the home to give her confidence and show her the way. Leah loves her sister Gracie, but they can be separated. We work with them independently, but they also get yard time to play together. We're trying to find the right balance to help them get adopted. A home environment would do wonders for them. Leah would do best in a family with older kids or a person who works from home. A quiet home with infinite patience and kindness to help her continue her journey of overcoming her past. She will bond hard and be the dog of a lifetime. She is such a gem.
