Leia's Story

Hi, I’m Leia!<br/><br/>I'm a 1.5yearold, 70pound mediummix hurricane of joy (with a sprinkle of husky and a dash of “I do what I want”). I’m spayed, vaccinated, house trained, crateish trained, leash trained, and fully prepared to take over your household in the most adorable way possible.<br/><br/>Let’s get this out of the way:<br/>I love water.<br/>Sprinklers? Yes.<br/>Hoses? Absolutely.<br/>Wading pools? My personal spa.<br/>Splash pads? I become a whole aquatic creature.<br/>Fullsize pools? No idea—I haven’t tested those yet, but statistically speaking, I’d probably try to become a synchronized swimmer.<br/><br/>I’m a highenergy girl who believes playtime is a lifestyle, not an activity. My hobbies include:<br/><br/>Poking humans with toys until they participate in play<br/><br/>Turning squeaky balls into emotional support objects<br/><br/>Kicking my soccer ball like I’m training for the World Cup<br/><br/>Talking back when corrected (you’re welcome)<br/><br/>Stopping midwalk to sit and stare at absolutely nothing like I’m pondering the meaning of life<br/><br/>I’m sweet, submissive, and dramatic in all the best ways. I love people, I love dogs, and I’m open to meeting cats—no promises, but I’m willing to interview them.<br/><br/>I do have one “quirk”: I’m mouthy. Not in a “I’m trying to eat your arm” way—more like “I’m expressing myself.” Because of that, I’d do best with older kids who understand dog behavior and won’t take it personally when I sass them.<br/><br/>Now, about my leg:<br/>I broke it when I was a baby, it healed a little crooked, and now I have a slight limp that adds character. It does not slow me down. I can outrun your entire neighborhood.<br/><br/>I sleep all night in my crate like a perfect angel. Getting into the car? I might act like you’re asking me to climb Mount Everest, but once I’m in, I’m great. Baths? I tolerate them like a martyr.<br/><br/>I’m currently living my best life in Fayetteville, NC, but I can be transported out of state for the right home (transport fees may apply if volunteer transport is not available). If you’re looking for a hilarious, affectionate, waterobsessed, toypoking, sasstalking companion who will keep you entertained every single day, congratulation, you’ve found your girl.
