Leila has a new home.

Someone abandoned a dog they'd owned for 12 years because she became "inconvenient" - at 61 pounds, it's hard for her to get up and down steps. She's up for adoption at the Cobb County animal shelter.

According to a post from shelter volunteers:

Here are details if you'd like to consider giving Leila (or another another pet) a home:

The Cobb County Animal Shelter is located at 1060 Al Bishop Drive in  Marietta. (Right off County Services Parkway). The number is  770-499-4136.

Shelter hours for adoptions are  Tuesday - Saturday 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and  Sundays 2 to 5 p.m.
