Leo's Story

<p data-start="0" data-end="371">Leo is an approx. 2 year-old male handsome husky mix who brings together the best of both worlds: a playful spirit and an easygoing, well-mannered nature. He has settled beautifully into foster care and is now ready to find a family to call his own. With his gentle personality and love for companionship, Leo is the kind of dog who fits right into everyday life and makes himself at home.</p><br/><br/><p data-start="373" data-end="894">Leo is housetrained, crate trained, and does great in the car. He is wonderful with toddlers and has shown himself to be a loving, patient companion with children. He has lived with other dogs in his foster home and enjoys playtime, showing off his fun, social side. His foster describes him as "a really sweet guy and just so easygoing," noting that he loves his toys, listens well, and has confidently taken on new experiences like a champ. Whether it's a busy day or a quiet evening, Leo is happy to be part of it all.</p><br/><br/><p data-start="896" data-end="1574">Leo has a few things he is continuing to work on. Around high-value items like human food or his meals, he prefers his own space and may guard his food from other dogs, so feeding separately and continuing positive training will help him feel comfortable and secure. He can be a little timid when meeting some men at first, but with a calm introduction and a bit of time, he warms up nicely and builds strong, trusting relationships. Leo had a past injury to his back foot that healed on its own that may look different. Recently Leo had one toe amputated on that foot. He is healing well and it does not stop him from enjoying his daily activities and living a happy, active life.</p><br/><br/><p data-start="1576" data-end="2090" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Leo would do best in a home that can offer structure, understanding, and continued guidance, especially around feeding routines with other dogs. He could live with another well-balanced dog who respects boundaries, or as a solo dog soaking up all the attention. A family who will give him time to settle in and continue building his confidence will be rewarded with a loyal, loving companion. Leo truly is a wonderful, well-rounded dog who is ready to bring joy, playfulness, and companionship to his forever home.</p><br/><br/><p><em>Our adoption fees cover all up to date veterinary needs, including but not limited to: full veterinary examination, age appropriate vaccinations, fecal test and parasite prevention, wellness bloodwork, spay or neuter, and microchip. All dogs will be started on a 6 week trial of pet insurance after adoption.

Precious Paws Rescue's Adoption Policy
Before inquiring about a specific dog for adoption, please ensure you have read their complete bio. We try to provide a complete description of each dog’s preferences in their write up including whether they are good with children and/or other pets. Adoption fees for each dog are also listed in their bio. If you still have questions about a dog you’re interested in please send us a message and one of our volunteers will respond as soon as possible. The first step if you are interested in adopting one of our available dogs is to complete our online Adoption Application at www.preciouspawsrescue.ca. Once your application is received one of our volunteers will review it and then get in touch with you to schedule a time for an interview. We will request a Zoom interview with you, so that we can complete your “phone interview” and “home visit” all at once. If these applications are not available to you we will schedule your phone interview first and, following that, we will schedule a home visit where a volunteer visits to meet all family members and see where the dog would be living. Our focus is on making the best match, not only for our rescue dogs, but also for our adoptive families. We want our adoptions to be successful for all involved so please understand that our adoption process is in place to ensure this happens. If you have any questions please get in touch!
