Leah is a mid-sized Carolina dog with a sweet, good-natured personality. Leah’s life took a huge turn when she was pulled from a high kill shelter.  Folks here surmise that she grew up with limited or no stability and as a very young girl did not get much guidance or socialization from her person.  At one time, she was more than happy to take the ‘back seat’ and let her pen mates get all the attention.  Now, after some socialization, she’s right there in the middle of the action and seeks attention once she gets familiar with you.  Leah has always been a girl who enjoys playing with other dogs.  She likes her toys and loves nothing more than to run like the wind in our arena.

A Word from Leah

“I can tell you that I’m quiet at first, but smart as a whip!  I really want to reach out and leave the sidelines and say “hi.”   Perhaps a bit shy when we first meet, I warm up and love to be taken for a walk. Lots of folks will focus on my looks and say I have THE most expressive face and incredibly awesome ears. I also hear my jacket reminds folks of a squirrel!!  I’m really not the type of girl to kiss on a first date but promise that once you let me give you the once over, I’ll gladly let you take me out for a stroll.  If you have other dogs in your home, that too would be mighty fine as I can learn so much from them and they give me such comfort.” 

What Leah Needs in Her Home

Leah will be happiest in a home with a socially-adjusted doggie friend. Cats and children are a no go for her. Because she does take a while to warm up to folks, it may take a few visits before Leah is ready to go home with you. Once home, give her a room to herself for a while, and a lot of loving, until she is ready to come out and meet the other dog or person. She tends to be dominant with other dogs, but not in a negative way most of the time. She will be anxious inside at first. A fenced back yard would be nice. Be ready to play! We guarantee she will become the apple of your eye!
