Leah is an eight-year-old Staffy cross with a heart of gold. She was rescued from a horrific situation where she was found pelted with rocks.

Despite what she endured from humans, her love and forgiveness are inspiring. This loveable “lady” has been working hard to show everyone how resilient and hopeful she can be!

“Leah has been waiting for her forever home for over two years. As she grows older, her need for a loving companion has become more pressing,” says Gordon van Heerden (volunteer at Vaalpets and the driving force behind the project to find Leah her forever home).

Due to her past experiences, Leah has to deal with emotional scars, making her fearful of loud noises. However, with patience and care, she thrives in quiet environments.

As a dog who adores companionship, Leah requires a home where she’ll receive attention and love. Despite her past abuse, Leah cherishes humans and yearns for a family to call her own.

“Her unique happy dance, accompanied by a wagging tail, is a testament to her loving spirit. Leah also loves car rides and is such a good girl in the car,” says Gordon.

He believes Leah would make an exceptional companion to her owner.
