Leia's Story

PLEASE READ ALL NOTES BELOW THE ANIMAL PROFILE!<br/><br/>Hi, I'm **Leia** <br/><br/>I'm a 1.5-year-old Husky x Shiba Inu mix - part athlete, part brainiac, all sass! I'm full of energy, super smart, and love a good challenge. I know some commands like sit, down, and stay, but let's be honest... I only do what I want unless there are treats involved. I know my worth. <br/><br/>I'm not the type to cuddle immediately. I need time, patience, and trust to build a strong bond. But once I let you in, I'll show you my goofy, loyal side - and I'm *very* treat-motivated. I LOVE having a "job" or something to do, whether it's training, games, or problem-solving puzzles.<br/><br/>I need a very **active, adult-only home** - no kids, no cats, no other dogs. I'd do best as the only dog, ideally in a home with a **big fenced yard** or even a farm where I can safely run, explore, and have space to roam. I thrive when I have consistent guidance, advanced training, and mental stimulation.<br/><br/>A little honesty: I have some challenges. I can bite when being picked up or when a lead is placed on me, and I'm sensitive around my face and neck. I need someone who will respect my boundaries on touch and work with me on feeling comfortable with a leash on/respecting your own boundaries. I'm also still learning leash manners, crate training, and not being possessive over toys and food. But I'm incredibly intelligent, and with a patient, dedicated human, I can absolutely thrive.<br/><br/>From my foster:<br/>"Leia is incredibly smart and willing to learn - as long as food is involved! She needs someone she can trust and bond with. Once that happens, she's unstoppable."<br/><br/>If you're ready for a loyal, brilliant, and high-energy companion who will challenge you and love you on her terms, I'm your girl. I promise - life with me is never boring! <br/><br/>Adoption FEE: $0 which includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines.<br/><br/>LEIA DOES HAVE A HUMAN BITE RECORD.<br/><br/>TO ADOPT PLEASE APPLY ONLINE <br/><br/>www.mercyfullprojects.org<br/><br/>PLEASE REMEMBER by filling out this form you agree and understand ADOPTION is NOT guaranteed, we are not first come, first served.
