A few things to know about Leia:

Leia is a favorite amongst staff and volunteers, she has playful and sweet nature, Leia is toy and treat motivated making her easy to train.

Personality: Sweet, affectionate, and people-friendly.

Children: Suited for a home with dog savvy children.

Cats: Potentially cat-friendly with proper introductions and management.

Other Dogs: Social but prefers slow introductions to build trust, has a rough and tumble play style so will need to fine tune her doggy manners as not all dogs appreciate her exuberance.

In the home: Leia needs secure 6ft fencing as she can jump fences and would need to be supervised outside and left inside when unattended initially.
