About Leia

  • Status: Adopted!
  • Species: Dog
  • Current Size: 7.5 Pounds
  • Potential Size: 16 Pounds
  • Current Age: 11 Years 1 Month (best estimate)

Luke, Leia, Lolita and Lincoln were born on June 1, 2014. It was a home birth! Their mom, Sugar, had been surrendered to our local humane society and was clearly about a month pregnant. Sugar is some sort of terrier – similar to a Cairn, like Toto from “The Wizard of Oz” – and is about 15 pounds.

The humane society knew that Unconditional Love Pet Rescue (ULPR) would be a better environment for a pregnant mom and for the care of newborns, so they contacted us immediately. We got her placed into a foster home with a ULPR volunteer right away! She had her pups a few weeks later surrounded by her foster family and another ULPR volunteer who is also a trained Veterinary Technician.

The pups are not food aggressive at all nor do they over-eat. We can leave out a bowl of Purina ProPlan dry puppy food and they only eat when hungry… it can have kibble in it for hours. The pups have all had their puppy shots including bordetella. They are used to having a bath and having their nails trimmed. They squirm a bit but are well behaved. We hope to have them used to a leash and “sitting” before the go to their forever homes.

They all enjoy playtime outside in the outside fenced area on the patio. All are currently pee-pad trained and very social having been raised in a private home with 3 other dogs (including their mom) and a cat, and lots of visitors.


Leia has a wonderful sweet personality.  She loves to be picked up!  Her coat is smooth like Luke’s but she is developing a bit of chin fuzz like her Mom.  Her markings are striking with blond “eyebrows” and patches of blond on her cheeks, ears and feet and green eyes. She loves to play tug-of-war with her toys. She’s just a bit over 6 pounds at 10 weeks old, and will probably be about the size of her Mom (15-17 pounds) when grown.

Thank you for checking out our wonderful orphans. If you would like to find out more please email or call Diane at...diane@ulpr.org or 870-577-3744.
