Leo

Meet Leo! Our handsome senior gentleman, unofficial shelter mayor, and longest resident.<br/><br/>Leo is about 11 or 12 years old, and he's been waiting for his own home for FOUR YEARS. But if you think that means Leo spends his days feeling sorry for himself, you clearly haven't met Leo. He's got places to be, people to supervise, and opinions to share. He's a little bossy, definitely opinionated, and has no trouble letting you know exactly how he thinks things should go. He's also about as sweet as they come, and everyone who knows him has a soft spot for this boy.<br/><br/>Leo is a man who appreciates the finer things in life. A pocket full of treats? Wonderful. A brand-new toy to enthusiastically dismantle? Even better. He loves tennis balls, rope toys, agility equipment, and pretty much any opportunity to spend time with his favorite people. He's smart, knows his commands, and still has plenty of playful energy to share.<br/><br/>Leo may do best as the only pet. He's a strong guy on leash and can be a bit much with other dogs, but does enjoy walking with other dogs. If you have a dog at home, we would slowly introduce them here to see if they may be a potential match. <br/><br/>Four years. That's how long Leo has been waiting for someone to choose him. He's not looking for sympathy, and he's certainly not short on personality. He's just a really good dog who deserves to have a person, a home, and all the little comforts that come with being somebody's dog.<br/><br/>We think whoever finally brings Leo home is going to wonder how they ever lived without him. <br/>*Reminder* We are currently facilitating adoptions through appointment only. If you arrive at the shelter without an appointment to meet a dog, we may not be able to assist you.<br/><br/>Please call the shelter (516-869-6311) during working hours (Mon. to Fri. 9AM-4PM; Sat. 10AM-4PM) for more information about this dog, the adoption process at the shelter, and to confirm availability. Please go to www.theshelterconnection.org for more information about and directions to the shelter.
