Leah

Leah's story could have ended very differently. After being picked up as a stray, she found herself in an overcrowded shelter with no one coming to claim her. Thankfully, she was rescued just in time and given a second chance through the New Leash on Life prison dog program, where she impressed everyone with how smart and eager to learn she is. Now she's ready for the very best part of her journey—a forever home!<br/><br/>At around 5 months old and just over 27 pounds, Leah is believed to be a Shepherd mix. She isn't expected to be a very large adult, making her the perfect medium-sized companion.<br/><br/>Leah has only been in her foster home for a few days, but she's already proving what an incredible dog she is. She has a wonderfully calm personality, is completely potty trained, sleeps through the night, and knows an impressive list of commands, including sit, stay, and down. She's incredibly smart and loves showing off everything she's learned.<br/><br/>One of Leah's favorite things? Belly rubs! She absolutely melts for affection and is happiest soaking up love from her people.<br/><br/>Like many dogs who haven't had the easiest start, Leah can be a little shy when experiencing new things. She'll need a family willing to be patient as she builds confidence and learns that the world isn't such a scary place. Once she feels safe, her sweet, gentle personality truly shines.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a loyal, well-mannered puppy with a calm disposition, a loving heart, and so much potential, Leah may just be your perfect match.<br/><br/>If you think Leah could be the missing piece of your family, apply today at bcaaofnj.org and come meet this amazing girl.
