Lela

Description

Lela is currently in a foster home. If you’re interested in meeting her, please give us a call so we can coordinate with her foster family!Sweet Lela has spent much of her young life searching for the stability every dog deserves. We first met her when she was just six months old after she was surrendered to the shelter. Like everyone who loved her, we hoped her first adoption would be her forever home. Through no fault of her own, Lela has found herself looking for that special family once again. Fortunately, Lela has been able to decompress in a wonderful foster home, and it has been a joy watching her true personality emerge. The busy shelter environment was simply overwhelming for her, but in a home she blossoms into the goofy, carefree, and incredibly loving girl we always knew was there. While she’s naturally gentle, she’s become so much more confident once given the chance to settle in. Lela has done beautifully with other dogs. She’s respectful, kind, and does a wonderful job reading other dogs’ boundaries. She appreciates companions with a similar gentle play style, and we think she’d enjoy having a canine friend in her future home. As always, we’re happy to provide a dog meet and greet before adoption if needed. Lela will thrive best with regular exercise and playtime. She appreciates the great outdoors and playing a game of fetch! She also has excellent manners. Lela is potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, knows the cues “sit,” “down,” and “shake,” and has done very well in a crate. She seems to appreciate having a safe, quiet space where she can relax and unwind. It’s important to remember that Lela will need a little time to adjust to a new home. She may be shy at first, but patience, consistency, and kindness go a long way with her. Once she feels safe, her affectionate personality shines through. She loves being close to her people, happily soaking up attention and enjoying the comfort of simply being together. Lela is the kind of dog whose heart is worth earning. If you’re willing to give her the time she needs to settle in, you’ll be rewarded with a loyal, gentle companion who has so much love to give.
