Leah

Meet Leah – a senior city gal with style, sass, and a story.<br/><br/>Leah has done everything right. She posed in pink. She wore her best harness.

Not because she’s not lovable — but because she needs a special kind of home. She’s a senior girl with boundaries. She can be protective of her belongings (resource guarding), and she doesn’t always like to share. She knows what she likes, and she’s not afraid to say so.<br/><br/>But once Leah trusts you, she’s incredibly affectionate. She’ll nap beside you while you work, follow you around the house, and be your quiet, loyal companion. She has a sense of humor, a sassy streak, and a whole lot of charm — but she needs someone experienced, someone patient, and someone who won’t give up on her.<br/><br/>If you’ve ever loved an older dog with a big personality, you already know how special a companion Leah could be.<br/><br/>Foster or adopt her — and help rewrite the ending of a story that almost ended too soon.<br/><br/>To inquire about Leah:<br/>Call/text: 917-689-8414<br/>Email: info@amsterdog.org<br/><br/>Apply at: AmsterDog.org<br/><br/>Leah is currently being fostered in the NYC area. Transportation is available for approved adopters or fosters, but we’re especially hoping to find someone local — someone in the city who can truly appreciate a city girl like Leah.
