Leila - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Detroit, Michigan

Leila A187194
25 lb. spayed female, approx 10 months old

Darling little sweetheart!

-This precious puppy was waiting so calmly in her kennel, and she was easy to leash and walked beautifully. Once out in the hallway, she gently wanted to say hello to everyone she passed, happily hopping up for attention and a little love.

-Outside, she came right over and climbed into my lap as if that's exactly where she belonged. She gives the sweetest, gentle kisses and will bury her little head in your arms and completely melt while you pet her. Belly rubs are definitely a favorite!

-She's a skinny little girl with a healthy appreciation for food. She has wonderful manners and impressive patience when waiting for snacks. She sits and takes treats very gently.

-She isn't showing much interest in toys right now, but she has clearly decided that people, cuddles, and belly rubs are much more important! ❤️

-She's an absolute darling who just wants to be loved. This little sweetheart is going to make someone very happy! 💕

-Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper intros

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.
