Meet Leia! This playful 1.5-year-old hound mix is ready for her forever home. She loves to romp and play with other dogs, but she does play hard, so a good playmate is a must! Leia would thrive in a single-story home with a fenced-in yard where she can explore and let loose. As an older puppy, she broke her leg by being a little too adventurous on the stairs, but she’s all healed up now! While she might have a slight limp, it doesn’t slow her down one bit.

Leia is also learning her manners and is incredibly trainable—she already knows “sit” and “down”! With her treat motivation and desire to please, she’s ready to soak up new commands and tricks. Housebreaking is a work in progress for Leia, but with frequent trips outside and plenty of praise, she’ll master it in no time! She walks nicely on a leash, though she can get a bit bouncy from excitement. With a little correction, she quickly settles down and walks beautifully.

After a nice walk, Leia is happy to curl up on her bed with a tasty chew bone or toy. No plush toys though! She cannot resist the urge to completely destuff them if given the opportunity. Leia knows how to settle in her crate when her people are away, feeling comfortable and secure. But when it’s time to come out, she’s without a doubt very excited to see her humans again, ready to shower them with love and enthusiasm!
