Leela's Story

Meet Leela!<br/><br/>Leela is an 8-year-old German Shepherd who deserved far better than what happened to her. When her owners lost their home to foreclosure, they moved away and left Leela and a Great Pyrenees behind in an outdoor pen. A very kind realtor discovered them, began feeding them and reached out to us for help.<br/><br/>Leela is safe now, and she is a remarkably sweet, intelligent girl. She is also very much a German Shepherd: loyal, observant, deeply tuned in to her people and not especially interested in becoming mayor of the dog park.<br/><br/>We do not believe Leela experienced much of the world before coming to us. She was comfortable with the Great Pyrenees she lived with, but she has shown no interest in meeting other dogs. We think she will be happiest as the only pet in a quiet home where she can finally relax and learn what it means to belong.<br/><br/>Leela needs a securely fenced yard, no cats and children who are teenagers or older. She is not looking for a loud, hectic household. She is looking for patient people who appreciate shepherds and will give her the stability she has never had.<br/><br/>At eight years old, Leela should not be starting over. But she is, and we intend to make sure the next chapter is the one she deserved all along!<br/><br/>-------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting this dog, please apply online, at https://bigfluffydogs.com/dog-adoption/ then email katrina@bigfluffydogs.com. <br/>Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process.<br/><br/>NOTE TO EMAILERS FROM PETFINDER: WE DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAIL INQUIRIES WITHOUT AN APPLICATION. WE REGRET WE CANNOT RESPOND TO EVERY EMAIL, BUT UNLESS YOU FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, WE DO NOT KNOW YOU EXIST.<br/><br/>All known information about an individual dog is provided in its listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters should understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be.
