Leslie is a gorgeous two-year-old German Shepherd mix who has been awaiting her forever home for far too long!

Leslie got to attend a yoga class and was a star “yoga assistant”:

Leslie can be a little shy while meeting new people and encountering new things. Unfortunately, her trepidation sometimes means she will bark at people she doesn’t know, which in turn makes people shy away from her. Thankfully, the trainers at Pasadena Humane have been working with her to build her confidence, and they’ve seen her start to show off her true personality much more clearly.

Leslie is a VERY smart and easy-to-train dog. She knows quite a few training cues like “sit”, “down” and “shake”. She will even “play dead” and pretty much anything else you try to teach her. With a smart dog like Edman the sky is the limit!

Leslie also bonds very quickly with everyone who can see through the gruff exterior that she puts up. Once you’re in her inner circle, all she wants is to be attached to you at the hip. She will constantly check in on you as you take her out for a walk or work on training with her.

As her confidence grows, her inquisitive and fun nature comes out. She will find a plush toy to relax with, or she’ll sniff out the treat you thought she missed. When she relaxes on her dog bed, she is as happy as can be.

With the right family, this shy girl will surely blossom into the amazing dog we all know she can be! Come spend some time with Leslie and see this diamond in the rough!
