Meet Leila — A Gentle, Snuggly Soul Looking for Her Perfect Pack
At about 1½ years old and around 37 pounds, Leila is the perfect “just‑right” size for cuddling on the couch or zooming joyfully around the yard. She’s a tender, sweet‑natured girl who’s ready to find a home that understands her gentle heart. While she can be shy with new people, once she feels safe, she becomes the softest, sweetest snuggle buddy you could hope for. Leila is a sensitive soul who gains confidence from the animals around her. She absolutely adores other dogs and needs a friendly, self‑assured canine companion in her new home. With another dog by her side, she blossoms — she plays, she explores, and she even goes for walks she wouldn’t attempt on her own. She’s also wonderfully respectful with cats, making her a great fit for multi‑pet homes. Her favorite things include snuggling close to her humans, playing and romping with other dogs, running joyful zoomies in the yard, chasing tennis balls (returning them is optional), and relaxing in her kennel — her cozy safe space. Leila is pure sweetness. She’s gentle, affectionate, playful, and full of quiet charm. Once she feels safe, her personality unfolds in the most heartwarming ways — soft snuggles, silly zoomies, and a deep, loyal love that feels like a gift.
Ideal Home
Leila needs a home with at least one confident, friendly dog who can show her the world isn’t so scary. She relies on her dog buddies for reassurance, especially on walks, and she truly thrives when she has a canine role model.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
She’s kennel trained and mostly housebroken, though she’ll likely need a little refresher as she settles into a new routine. A patient, gentle adopter who understands that trust takes time will help her continue to grow into the loving, playful dog she’s meant to be. It's recommended to read about the stages a pet goes through after adoption, discussing transitions that happen at 3 days, 3 weeks, and 3 months.
Application Details:
- Applications start by contacting the foster through Wags.
- The adoption fee is $500 + tax (no checks).
Transporation
Leila is available for adoption and may be attending Saturday adoption events from 11 AM - 2 PM at the Burnsville, Cottage Grove, or Forest Lake PetSmart locations. Please inquire about her attendance.
