Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – Looking for a loyal shadow who doubles as a cuddle bug? Say hello to Leeta!

This sweet 4-year-old pit mix is full of love and always eager to be near her people. She’ll follow you from room to room, just happy to be by your side—and maybe sneak in a snuggle or two along the way.

Leeta has a playful side too! Her favorite pastime? Chasing down squeaky toys with the enthusiasm of a pup—but returning them? Well, she’s still working on that part.

Leeta does well with other dogs and enjoys their company. We’re still learning how she feels about cats, so a slow introduction or a cat-free home might be best for now.

If you’re looking for a sweet, people-loving pup with just the right mix of playfulness and affection, Leeta might just be your perfect match. Come meet her and see for yourself—she’s ready to wiggle her way into your heart!
