My story

MEET LEIA! This sweet senior girl is ready to finally know what it means to be loved. Beautiful Leia is an approximately 8-year-old Chihuahua who came into rescue after being neglected and largely ignored. She spent far too much of her life wondering when she would be cared for, and she came into rescue understandably timid and unsure of her new surroundings. But underneath that timid exterior is an incredibly sweet little girl who desperately wants to feel safe. ❤️ Leia is learning that she doesn't have to worry anymore. She doesn't have to wonder when her next meal is coming. She doesn't have to fend for herself. She can finally relax, be loved, and just be a dog. Leia would do best in a quiet, calm home where she can take her time adjusting and learn that she is safe. Her dream home is one where she can be someone's lap dog, curl up beside her favorite person, and be absolutely spoiled rotten. She is scheduled to receive a dental cleaning and have her nails done, giving her the fresh start she deserves. Name: Leia Age: Approximately 8 years old Breed: Chihuahua Personality: Sweet, timid & gentle Ideal home: Quiet, calm and loving Dream life: Being a cherished lap dog and getting spoiled rotten! Leia doesn't need a busy household or a family looking for the perfect dog. She needs someone willing to show her that life can be soft, safe, and full of love. Imagine the first time Leia realizes she doesn't have to worry anymore. The first time she curls up in someone's lap and truly relaxes. The first time she understands that this is home—and she's not being forgotten again. ❤️ This little girl has gone without so much for so long. Now it's her turn to be cherished, protected, spoiled, and loved for the rest of her life. Leia is ready for her forever family. All she needs is someone to give her the chance to learn just how wonderful life can be. ❤️ An application is required, followed by a meet & greet and home check. Her adoption fee is help cover her vet fees is $150.September 11, 2026, 10:36 pm

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