Leah is a tiny sweetheart with soft tan and white coloring and the most gentle, soulful eyes. At just over 12 pounds, she is the perfect size for someone looking for a small companion who can easily curl up beside them on the couch or follow them from room to room.

Leah came to the shelter on March 15 after the people she thought were her family surrendered her because neighbors had complained about a dog. Through it all, Leah has remained incredibly sweet and gentle. She is very quiet in her kennel and has shown what a good little girl she truly is.

Leah is house trained, dog friendly, and good with children, making her a wonderful fit for many homes. She has the kind of calm, loving personality that makes small dogs such devoted companions. All she really wants is a safe home, a soft bed, and people who will love her the way she deserves.

Leah appears to be a Chihuahua mix, possibly with some Pug or small terrier influence, which gives her that adorable little face and sturdy build.

After losing the only home she knew, Leah is ready for a second chance with a family who will never give up on her. Anyone who meets this quiet, loving girl will quickly see what a special companion she will be.
