Story
Meet Leia!
Leia came to the Mission from our friends at the Post Falls Animal Shelter. She was found as a stray with her presumed brother, Luke! Unfortunately, no owners came forward so they are both seeking their furever homes! Her estimated birthdate is 2/7/2023.
Luke and Leia can be adopted as a pair, or separately. They are currently being fostered in separate homes and are doing well, but if you were wanting a lovely pair of brother and sister goofballs, these could be your next pups!
Leia is the more timid of the two, and is nervous around new people. She warms up extremely quickly, and will accept treats. She is not fearful-aggressive, so she is unlikely to react with aggression in situations of fear. Instead, she tends to cower and lower herself to the ground in an attempt to make herself small. She will quickly approach new people for affection or treats when she's had an opportunity to sniff them out, and is getting more confident each day.
Leia shines with other dogs - she absolutely loves to play, and is very gentile with her introductions. Once she knows the other dog, she may push their buttons in an attempt to engage in play, but she takes corrections well.
Leia is great in her kennel overnight or just for a nap/break, but does need to learn some manners on lead, as she currently pulls pretty hard. She is house trained.
Leia would enjoy an acitve home where she can run and play. Frequent walks, hikes, bike rides, frisbee, and things of that sort will be great activities to help wear her out physically. She'd enjoy mental stimulation as well, such as freeze treats or puzzles.
She is neutral to cats but if they run from her she will chase them. She currently lives with 3 cats and has never attempted harm, only play. Her gentle nature will make her a good match up for a home with children. When people think of adopting a great pet from the shelter, Leia is the kind of dog they're thinking of.
If you are interested in adopting Leia, the first step is to submit an application at www.murcismission.org!
Her adoption fee is $200 and she comes spayed, microchipped, dewormed, and vaccinated. She will come home with her medical records, a temporary ID tag, and a leash/collar.
Thanks for checking out our girl!
