A tiny Chihuahua mix named Sakura may be small, but her heart and spirit are enormous.
Sakura’s early life in Southern California was tough, but she faced every hardship with resilience—even while carrying three puppies!
Luckily, fate had a better chapter in store for her, one where she could finally live the life every dog dreams of.
A Brave Mama
One day, Sakura and her little ones were taken from their previous home by animal control and brought to the City of San Bernardino Animal Services.
Malnourished and scared, Sakura barked protectively whenever shelter staff picked up one of her puppies.
Sadly, this family was at risk of euthanasia, but a shelter advocate, Lois C., wasn’t ready to let that happen.
She reached out to rescues, and soon, Leashes of Love Rescue, Inc. stepped in, finding a foster home for Sakura and her puppies with Debbie.
For the first time, this brave mother had a chance to rest, regain her strength, and care for her puppies in peace.
Days passed, and as her puppies Kilo, Kiele, and Kai grew, Sakura enjoyed playing with them and teaching them how to be loving companions for their future families.
When adoption day came, her pups found wonderful homes, leaving Sakura with time to focus on her own journey.
Sakura’s Happily Ever After
With her puppies settled, Sakura has flourished. She’s become more confident, learned all the basics, and is scheduled for her final vaccinations and spaying.
She’s now ready for a forever home of her own!
Everyone who meets Sakura describes her as affectionate, playful, and clever.
She loves her naps as much as she loves playtime and would thrive in a home with other active dogs and children.
Even though she hasn’t been around cats, her rescuers believe she would adjust well to them too.
If you can offer Sakura the fun, loving, and caring forever home she deserves, please consider filling out an adoption application on the Leashes of Love website.
Sakura is sure to bring sunshine and laughter to any family lucky enough to call her their own.
