My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This is Leva. She used to be named Levi, and then it was discovered that she is a girl. This gives you an idea of how shy Leva was when she arrived at the shelter with her sister. Her sister was also dominating her, so she hadn’t yet figured out how to be herself. Leva is still very shy, but with the help of some staff and volunteers, she is coming around nicely. Leva plays beautifully with other dogs, and another secure dog in her new home may help her come out of her shell completely. Leva is very interactive once she is comfortable, and will also invite belly rubs and even lean in for hugs from humans. She’s a wonderful dog who is super-engaged and smart as a whip. She’d love to go home as soon as possible, so she can find her place in the world and mature into the best dog ever. We know she has that potential.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

$125 for dogs and $100 for cats, includes spaying or neutering, rabies vaccination, and microchip.

THE BACS 60/6/60 PLAN If you’re sixty or over, and you adopt an animal who is 6 or over, you’ll get a 60% discount on the adoption fee.

You must be at least 21 years old to adopt a pet. We ask that everyone in the household come to meet the pet and we require proof that you can have a pet where you live. This can be a copy of a lease indicating that you may have a cat or dog, or any document indicating home ownership such as a mortgage statement.

There is a simple adoption application to complete which will help us advise and prepare you for your new pet. If you are adopting a dog and have another dog(s) already, we ask that you bring them to meet the dog you would like to adopt. We offer home adoption counseling visits for any of our dogs and may require it for some dogs.

In the event that more than one interested party wants to adopt an animal on the morning it becomes available, we enter the names of qualified adopters into a random drawing.

All cats and dogs adopted from the shelter will be neutered or spayed, vaccinated and microchipped before going home as your new pet. If the animal is spayed or neutered at the time of adoption, it can leave the same day. If the animal is not yet spayed or neutered, you can pick up your new pet the day after surgery.
