Staff at the Sioux Falls Area Humane Society announced a big step for Leia recently. She has made a lot of progress while staying with her foster family.

With patience, structure, and hours of work, her reactivity to other dogs has significantly improved. She’s not the same dog you last read about. She can now be placed with a respectful dog who understands space.

That’s huge.

The Sioux Falls Area Humane Society made the update in a new Facebook post.

Even though this is a major step, Leia still has hills to climb. One thing is certain: She cannot go back to the shelter. It's too much stress for her.

Leia was once a dog full of joy, enthusiasm, and she would always be excited for games. And her love for kisses and treats? She couldn't get enough of either! However, the stress, noise, and the uneasy feeling of waiting for a second chance are taking a toll on Leia. This is truly a heartbreaking situation for anyone who knows Leia.

Leia is a smart, sweet, girl, just looking to please!! She has come so far!! Someone give her the furever she deserves!

Beautiful girl! I hope she finds the perfect home! She looks so sweet!
