About this Dog
Meet Leah, a one-year-old Border Collie mix weighing in at about 30 pounds. She’s a bright, energetic young dog with all the drive and instincts typical of her herding breed roots. Leah is looking for a home that understands her unique needs and is ready to help her continue building confidence through gentle guidance, patience, and plenty of positive reinforcement. Leah is making steady progress with house-training and does very well in her crate. While she’s a bit wary around men, she warms up quickly to women and becomes a friendly, happy, and playful companion to those she trusts. She’s still working on impulse control and tends to jump up when excited—sometimes even using her humans as springboards—so she'll do best in a home with kids over the age of 10. She coexists peacefully with the other dogs in her foster home, though she doesn’t seem particularly interested in playing or interacting with them. Leah’s ideal home will be one where she can get plenty of mental and physical stimulation—she might really enjoy something like agility or structured training games to keep her sharp. Experience with herding breeds is a big plus, as Leah will thrive with someone who understands her instincts and is committed to helping her continue to grow into a confident, well-adjusted adult dog. If you're looking for a smart, spirited companion with lots of potential, Leah just might be your perfect match. Her minimum adoption fee is $300 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Adopt Leah and Receive Leah's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Leah's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Leah's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Leah, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Leah's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Leah was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Leah’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Leah’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Leah’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
