About this Dog
Meet Leia! When you think of Texas, you think of BBQ, The Cowboys, live country music and hot temps. Leia left all of that behind to come to Minnesota to look for a new life and her new family. Despite past challenging circumstances, Leia is so brave as she starts to trust more people and understands that her new world is filled with love, kindness, routine, and good food. But she is no pushover, and it takes a bit for her to trust you and come out of her shell. But once she does, you have a happy, affectionate, tail wagging, zooming around, playful furry companion. She is quiet but will bark if she is in the mood. Leia likes to be outside and likes her walks. She is pee pad trained and does go outside to do her business. A consistent schedule would quickly turn her into a potty-trained rock star, of that I have little doubt. Most importantly, Leia would do best in a home with another dog. Her past life included many dogs, so she feels the most secure and happy with another dog around. So, if you are looking for an adorable, zippy, affectionate, furry little companion for your family, Leia checks all the boxes. Leia is from Texas. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.

Adopt Leia and Receive Leia'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, Leia's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Leia's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Leia, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Leia'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 Leia was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Leia’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Leia’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, Leia’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!
