💛 Meet Leia 💛 Leia is estimated to be around 2 years old, and this sweet girl’s story started late one night in Oak Cliff. She was found scared and wandering alone near with no collar and no one looking for her. Thankfully, a kind stranger spotted her while walking their own dog, safely got her into the car, and brought her home. Despite everything she had been through, Leia immediately showed what an incredible dog she is. She is unbelievably loving, gentle, and people-oriented. She absolutely thrives on companionship and wants nothing more than to be close to her humans, whether that means cuddling on the couch, joining family activities, or simply following you from room to room. Leia is also incredibly smart and eager to learn. She picks up on commands quickly, listens well, and genuinely enjoys engaging with her people. Her sweet personality and willingness to learn make her a joy to have around. One of Leia’s most special qualities is how wonderful she is with children. She is patient, affectionate, and gentle, making her an amazing fit for a family looking for a loving companion. She is also house trained, which makes transitioning into a new home even easier. Why you’ll love Leia: 🐾 Extremely affectionate and loving 🐾 Smart and eager to learn 🐾 Wonderful with children and other dogs 🐾 House trained 🐾 Gentle, sweet, and family-friendly 🐾 Loves being part of the action Leia may have started her journey as a stray, but she is more than ready for a forever home where she can finally feel safe, loved, and cherished. In return, she’ll give her future family endless loyalty, companionship, and love. ❤️ All Dallas Pets Alive adoptable pets are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines upon adoption.
