About This Dog

Leia's ideal home

Meet Leia, She is a sweet and gentle young Dachshund who is still learning about the world. Leia can be quite worried at first and will need time, patience, and reassurance to feel comfortable in new environments and around new people.
Once she begins to trust you, her personality really shines — she becomes affectionate, loves attention, and will happily seek out fuss. Leia gains confidence from other dogs and will benefit from living with a calm, friendly dog who can help guide her.
She will need a quiet home environment with a safe space she can retreat to when feeling unsure. Leia could live with children secondary school aged who understand her nervous nature

Could you be Leia's perfect match?

Leia is looking for a patient and understanding home prepared to start from the beginning with her basic training, including housetraining and building confidence in everyday situations.
She will need gradual introductions to being left alone, along with support to adjust to new sights and sounds, as the world can feel overwhelming for her right now. Car travel and busy environments will also need to be introduced slowly.
If you’re looking for a soft, affectionate companion and are happy to help a nervous young dog grow in confidence at her own pace, Leia could grow into a wonderful addition to your home
