Leia's Story

And then there was one. Just Leia.<br/>Leia came to us from a home, along with Luke and Tanner. They were ravaged by fleas in a way we had not seen before. All of them had flea anemia and Luke almost needed a transfusion. They each had their own health issues as well.<br/>Tragically, we had to say goodbye to Luke because of a mass on his heart. Then Leia and Tanner were welcomed into a wonderful home, but Leia, who was now feeling a bit better, had trouble getting along with Tanner. When none of them felt well, they just coexisted and tried to survive. But now that they feel a bit better, more emotions are coming out.<br/>So Leia is back with us - 111 days since she first came to us. She has a few health issues - a heart rate that jumps up and down and an issue with her back. She is on meds for her back and is feeling better, which we are thankful for.<br/>But her fluctuating heart rate causes her to sleep, a lot. Sleep can be hard to come by at the shelter but she finds it.<br/>When she is up and about, she is delightful. Some days you can hardly believe she is 10 years old. She adores people and is so content when someone just sits next to her as she sleeps. We are seeing that she may definitely prefer to be the only dog in the house.<br/>We are looking for a permanent medical foster for Leia. All medical expenses would be covered for this amazing girl. We just want a very soft spot for her to land so she can have some amazing months or years - she so deserves that.<br/>If you have room in your heart for the sweetest girl, with the biggest heart, who has had some rough years in her life, come meet our special Leia! We think she keeps going because she knows her person is out there somewhere.<br/>Interested? Come for a visit any day of the week - 365 days a year between 9am - 12pm. Hope to see you soon!<br/><br/>PLEASE NOTE: Animal Aid Society observes a 40 mile adoption radius to facilitate post adoption support and follow ups.

Animal Aid Society's Adoption Policy
We require an in-person meeting prior to processing an adoption application. If you think one of our dogs could be a good fit, come for a visit! If all goes well and you decide to pursue adoption, you may submit your adoption application. Once your family, including any dogs, have also met with the dog you wish to adopt, your application will be submitted to the Adoption Committee for review. We estimate the pre-adoption process can take up to 14 days or longer. PLEASE NOTE: AAS is committed to finding the best fit for each of our dogs. For this reason, we will accept multiple applications for a dog. In the case of multiple applications, we will select the applicant that is the best fit based on the needs of the dog. Adoption fee for puppy/adult dogs is $300.00. Adoption fee for senior dogs is $150.00. We prefer that adopters be located within 40 miles of the shelter to facilitate post adoption follow up.
