Meet Princess Leia — a 3‑month‑old, 15 lb Husky mix who is every bit as stunning as her name suggests!   Quick Facts: Name: Princess Leia Breed: Husky Mix Age: 2 month old (12/29/2025 birthdate) Weight: 15 lbs.

Crate-Trained: Yes Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Yes Good with Kids: Yes Energy Level: High Fence Required: Yes   About Princess Leia’s Breed: Our best guess is that Princess Leia is a Husky mixed breed. Huskies are energetic, intelligent, and social dogs known for their striking looks, endurance, and playful personalities. They were originally bred to work in packs and pull sleds over long distances, so they naturally have high energy levels and a strong instinct to run. Most Huskies are friendly with people and other dogs, and they thrive on interaction, activity, and mental stimulation. Their thick double coat sheds heavily, but it also makes them well‑suited for outdoor adventures.   An ideal home for a Husky is one with plenty of space, a secure fenced yard, and an active family who can provide daily exercise and engagement. They do best with people who enjoy outdoor activities like running, hiking, or long walks and who can offer consistent training and structure. Because they’re social and can become bored easily, Huskies flourish in homes where they aren’t left alone for long periods and where they’re included in family life. With the right environment and plenty of activity, a Husky becomes a joyful, loyal, and entertaining companion.   What to Love about Princess Leia: With her fluffy coat, bright eyes, and joyful spirit, she’s truly one of the most beautiful little pups you’ll ever meet. Leia came to the rescue a bit undersocialized, but she’s blossoming quickly as she learns how to play with toys, enjoy people, and romp around like a happy, carefree puppy!   Leia loves running around outside and wrestling with her brothers in the yard or their indoor play area. She’s already crate trained and working hard on her potty training, showing just how smart and eager to learn she is. Because she’s a young Husky mix with plenty of energy, she’ll thrive with a family who’s home often, ready to teach her the ropes, and excited to help her grow into her best self. A fenced yard is important for her breed and size so she can safely zoom, explore, and be the adventurous Husky girl she’s meant to be. She’s wonderful with kids of all ages, loves every person she meets, and gets along beautifully with other dogs — she even does well with cats. Leia is working on her leash skills and will be an amazing adventure buddy once she’s old enough for bigger outings.   Princess Leia’s Lovely Highlights: 3‑month‑old, 15 lb Husky mix with gorgeous fluffy fur and striking looks Playful, social puppy who loves everyone she meets Came to rescue undersocialized but is quickly learning how to play and enjoy life Loves running outside and romping with her brothers Crate trained and working hard on potty training Smart, eager to learn, and would thrive with a family home often Needs a fenced yard to safely play and explore like a true Husky Great with kids, dogs, and even does well with cats Energetic girl who will love an active family ready for adventures Total sweetheart who can’t wait to grow up with her forever family!   Sweet, playful, and full of potential, Princess Leia is ready to find a forever family who will love her, guide her, and enjoy every moment of watching her grow!   Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description. to ensure a smooth process, please submit a completed application through our website at: http://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-adoption/.
