DESCRIPTION
Although she takes some time to warm up to strangers, Leigha has your devotion after you've earned her trust. When Leigha first came to us she was incredibly skittish and afraid of people. However, with persistence, she realized how badly she wanted to be loved up on and now wants to follow staff everywhere they go. She has done very well on leash and is picking up new commands rapidly! She still needs some work on potty training but she is catching on quick. Leigha is still wary of strangers but she is making a great effort in facing her fears and is looking for a forever home full of love, snuggle time, and most importantly, exercise. She absolutely LOVES chasing the ball and would enjoy plenty of outside time. Leigha can be very select with the dogs she likes and dislikes. She has done well with non-confrontational male dogs and submissive female dogs. She has also done well with most cats. All in all, Leigha is a lover and is looking for the perfect household to settle into!
ABOUT: FOX TERRIER DOG BREED
The Fox Terrier is a small, energetic, and intelligent breed known for its distinctive appearance, with smooth or wirehaired coat varieties. Fox Terriers are fearless and playful, making them excellent companions for active families. Their history lies in hunting foxes, reflected in their high prey drive and need for mental and physical stimulation. They are loyal and affectionate towards their owners but may show dominance over other dogs. Regular exercise and training are essential for a well balanced Fox Terrier.
The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
