Leona

Leona is an adoptable female German Shepherd looking for a home at BARC Animal Shelter in Houston, Texas. She is a young adult and medium in size. She is listed on the shelter's euthanasia list, listed due to lack of space, and that date has now passed. Shelters often move these dates, so Leona may still be waiting. The shelter can confirm.

Located At: BARC Animal Shelter & Adoptions Description: My name is Leona. I am a female, tan German Shepherd Dog. Age: The shelter staff think I am about 2 years old. More Info: I have been at the shelter since Aug 23, 2026. I am in kennel SOUTHC04. Weight: 56 lbs Intake Date: 8/23/2026 ⸻ 📈MEDICAL NOTES: Leona is heartworm negative. She received her Rabies, DA2PP, Bordetella and deworming treatments, along with Pyrantel and Advantage Multi. There are no medical concerns documented in the notes provided. ⸻ 🐾BEHAVIOR NOTES: Leona is a young girl who appears to be having a particularly difficult time when left alone in the outdoor runs. But inside her kennel, a very different Leona emerges. She rests quietly, greeting people with a soft face, soft eyes, loose wiggly body and gently wagging tail. She waits at her kennel door for interaction, has been easily leashed, and on several occasions walked nicely to and from the potty yard. On 8/30, she remained mostly quiet during kennel cleaning and even sat while her kennel was being opened.
