Description:

Leela arrived in Minnesota in January and loves the snow, fetch, snuggles, and everyone she meets. She is highly trainable and wants to please her pack. Leela learned how to walk on a leash, sits on command, and is working on shake now at just 1 week in foster care. She greets everyone with a full body wiggle of excitement and loves to give hugs. Her favorite thing to do is to fetch. Leela will fetch for as long as you can throw, she is even teaching her resident foster sister to bring the ball back.

Leela would do well in a home with other dogs or by herself with lots of human play time. She has not been left home alone without another dog so that would need to be tested. She takes naps and is respectful of work time as her fosters work from home, but ready to go when there is time for a walk or fetch session.

She was found in Texas giving birth, and was rescued while in labor in September giving birth to 8 pups. Her adorable puppies were adopted after 3 months with Leela giving them a great start in life. She was not so fortunate to find a forever home, which is why she was brought to Minnesota for her 2nd chance.

Leela is a positive, friendly, sweet dog who gives back love in spades.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
