Meet Lea! This beautiful 6-7 month old Lab/Heeler mix (our best guess) was found wandering along a busy street, scared, hungry, and covered in fleas and ticks. Thankfully, a kind Good Samaritan stopped to help, and now this sweet girl is safe and ready to find the loving family she's always deserved. True to her Lab personality, Lea is incredibly friendly and loves everyone she meets. She adores other dogs, enjoys being around people, and has a gentle, affectionate nature that makes her an easy dog to fall in love with. Despite her rough start, she hasn't let it dim her sweet spirit. We expect Lea will be approximately 50-65 pounds full grown, making her the perfect companion for adventures, walks, and plenty of couch cuddles after a day of fun. If you're looking for a loyal best friend with a heart of gold, Lea is ready to meet you.
