Lieba has lost her family due to divorce. She is again at our rescue awaiting her forever home.

January 30, 2007
Liebe has adjusted well to our home and our three small children. She fits right in as one of the gang! She is a joy to be around and is always eager to learn new things. She's so smart - she's already broken out of her crate a couple times so we had to get a different latch for it. On Sundays she gets to go to grandma's house with us and play with other dogs and get special treats from grandpa. She gets spoiled right along with the grandkids! Liebe is just wonderful and we love her. We are so appreciative of all the hard work you guys do at the rescue, thank you!!


A special thank you goes out to Leebah's sponsors: Steve Hitz in memory of Marah & Gretchen. Mark & Janet Koonce in honor of Bodie. Tricia & Chris in honor of Kylie. Nicolle White. Cheryl Smith.

Leebah
Adopted originally November 11, 2006

Leebah (renamed Lieba) is a spayed, female, Boxer/Shepherd mix. Her and her siblings were born July 2003 when we took in a mommy and the litter of puppies. All had found loving homes, but Leebah has found her way back to the rescue due to a divorce in her family. She is loving, sweet, active, and the same ball of happy joy that she was as a puppy. Her mommy (Zoe- Adopted April 4, 2004) is a beautiful German Shepherd, so we can only guess that dad was a goofy Boxer since all of the babies came out fun-loving, happy, bouncy, Boxer-looking kids with 4 foot vertical leaps. Leebah now searches for a loving home that will keep her forever.
