Leila

My story

Everyone, Meet Leila! Our sister nonprofit, Expand Animal Rights Now (EARN) was alerted to a dog left outside without food, water, or shelter. A neighbor witnessed authorities coming and going from where Leila was being held, as well as animal control visiting the property and removing dogs. Once the neighbor realized the premises was being evacuated due to methamphetamine, she approached animal control to ask about Leila. Animal control confirmed that their plans were to euthanize Leila, as they had done with the other animals who had been seized. The neighbor negotiated with animal control & they gave her 24 hours to find placement for Leila. Our founder, Jill Ryther, was contacted by the neighbor & our team quickly sprang to action. We arranged transportation and temporary housing with our friends at Topline K9 Services. As always, we remain grateful to Topline for opening their doors to Leila, for performing initial evaluations, & for showering her with love. We estimate that Leila is approximately 11 months old & weighs 65 pounds. She is scheduled to receive her first round of vaccinations & at that veterinary appointment, we will schedule her for any further veterinary care she may need. Leila is in need of a foster home (in addition to a forever home)! If you are interested in fostering Leila, please email our sister nonprofit at info@expandanimalrightsnow.org.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Leila, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
