What's that tapping sound? Why, it's Leona, and she's sharing her excitement by tap dancing in your kitchen. Excitement about what? Well, just about anything puts a smile on her face and gets her little legs moving. Going outside or going to another room, Leona is all about the journey - as long as it's with you. She can barely handle it when she gets attention, so she provides a lot of positive reinforcement to make sure those head scratches and belly rubs continue. Is she training you? Maybe a little. But you won't mind.

Leona may be short in stature, but she's fearless about jumping up on the couch to relax next to you. The only issue is, she doesn't always make it. She'll keep trying, but some assistance would be great. She rides well in the car and is good on the leash, and she's not much of a barker except when she hears you pull into the driveway. She appreciates being loved, so she listens carefully, sleeps quietly through the night and behaves like a good little girl.

Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. If you need a pick-me-up, Leona is the dog for you! She can really brighten up anyone's day.

Leona came to us from Monterey County Animal Services.
