About the dog

Our pretty Leona ... She is a large girl at 80lbs, but it's 70lbs of love and 10lbs of cuddle! Leona was an owner surrender after the family had lost their housing and could no longer care for her and her three young puppies. They have all since been adopted, and Leona is still waiting to find her forever home. She has been with us since December of 2023

Leona is young and given her background, she was likely not trained or worked with very much before becoming a mom; she is a higher-energy dog and will need a family that can exert her energy through play, walking, mental stimulation etc. Leona is a good girl, but she can sometimes test the boundaries and needs correction - much like a toddler! But she is still young and learning, in the right environment, she will thrive! She likes playing with her foster siblings, enjoys toys, and being outside. Consider giving Leona the home she deserves!

All animals come spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccines and heartworm meds, microchipped for safety, medical records release and current food.
