This very beautiful girl is Leona. She is available for adoption and is looking for love. Leona was picked up stray and brought to us by a Good Samaritan. We had hoped her family was going to come in to bring her home but sadly that never happened so here she is ready and waiting for a second chance. Today she is asking for the basics, a home of her own, a family to love, a bed to cuddle up in and a window to look out of and get some sunshine on her face. She has done well with dogs here at the shelter, she would do best in a home without cats and children over the age of 12. She is sweet, playful, energetic and looking for her place in this world. Leona is estimated to be about 3 - 5 years young, 54 pounds, up to date on vaccinations, spayed, micro-chipped and heart-worm negative.
