Leia Shiba Inu & Chihuahua Mix Union Gap, WA

Meet Leia! This sweet young girl is mom to Wicket, Nippet, Mookie, and Kneessaa. Now that her pups are old enough to find homes of their own, she has healed up, has been spayed, and received her needed vet care, Leia is ready to finder her happily ever after!

Leia is an approximately 2-year-old Shiba Inu/Chihuahua mix who weighs in at about 14 pounds.

Update from Leia's foster mom - Leia is a spectacular little girl who even with what she went through just loves people.  She can be a bit intrusive for affection at times, but with a little attention and patience she figures out she's OK.  She enjoys other dogs.  She's not pushy or bossy to them.  She loves her naps in the sun and an occasional dash around the yard.  She is potty trained to the dog door and has been quite good about in in the past two months.  She is smart and loving.  This little momma will make a great companion to someone who wants to be adored by Leia.  She can get a little anxious if she is locked in a crate or small room, especially if you are home.  But she has perfect manners in the house and roams freely without any issues.  Leia is an awesome little lady with a kind heart.

Leia was a wonderful mom to her four pups and is now ready to enjoy her life with a new family all her own. She is housetrained and uses a doggy door in her foster home. She does well with other dogs, and we believe, with her laid-back attitude, that she would be good in a home with cats. But, since we don’t know that for sure, care should be taken when introducing her to new kitty friends.

Leia loves people and really wants to be with her people. She can have a bit of anxiety when left alone, so someone who is around most of the time would be best for her. She may be good in a home with kids, but she has not spent a lot of time around them yet.

Leia is working on her leash manners and her basic commands. She is a smart girl and should pick those up quickly with love and patience. She is eager to please and quite the intelligent girl!

If you think Leia may be the one for you, please go to our website at www.wagstorichesanimalrescue.org and fill out an application to adopt. Please be sure to include a vet reference as regular vet care is important to us for the health of all our adopted dogs. With approval and a $295 adoption donation, she will be ready to accompany you on all of life’s many adventures! Leia is spayed, microchipped, fecal tested clean of internal parasites and up to date on all her vaccinations, including rabies.
