Today I want to introduce you to Leidy! This girl is a beautiful apricot pup with a smile that goes ear to ear! She is a 1 year and 7 month old mixed breed, spayed and up to date on vaccines. She came to us from Florida and has settled well in “The Nutmeg State”. Our dog walking volunteers love to hang outside with her in our dog pens and she even met a doggie friend while here at the shelter.
She can be nervous when there are loud noises and sometimes new things so, we have listed her as wanting an adult only home where she can continue to thrive and grow. If you are interested in hearing more about Leidy visit us at cthumane.org/adopt to apply online and one of our adoption team members will give you a call to discuss her or any of our friends at CT Humane in Westport.
