Leo's Story
YOU MUST HAVE AN APPROVED APPLICATION IN ORDER TO MEET OUR PETS.<br/><br/>Meet Leo! <br/><br/>Affectionately known as Chungus, Chungie, Gooby and Little Big Man, Leo is an approximately 6-year-old, 30-pound Shih Tzu Jack Russell mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart.<br/><br/>Leo is a lovable, cuddly little guy who also enjoys his independence. He loves lounging in the yard and keeping an eye on the neighborhood, taking a good couch nap and getting his ears scratched. He is food motivated, receptive to training and eager to please, making him a great candidate for someone who enjoys helping their dog learn and thrive.<br/><br/>Leo is very welcoming to strangers and has been a favorite at doggy daycare. He has also done wonderfully at the groomer. He gets along with other dogs with proper introductions.<br/><br/>On walks, Leo is very aware of his surroundings and can be vocal when he sees other people, dogs or encounters loud vehicles. His new family should be prepared to give him a little space and guidance when he gets excited or wants to let the world know what he thinks! <br/><br/>Leo has experienced quite a few changes recently, including a move, changes in the family work schedule and the arrival of a new baby. The increased activity and attention that comes with a young child has been a little overwhelming for him, so Leo is looking for a home without young children. <br/><br/>He has done well with older children, particularly those around 12 and up.<br/><br/>With all of the recent changes in his life and his owner being gone long hours after a job change, Leo has occasionally had accidents in the house. The disruption in routine, lack of good walks, and long hours of needing to hold it are contributing, and he should do MUCH better with routine exercise walks and a consistent potty schedule in his new home. A belly band is very helpful initially while he adjusts and also when family is out on errands. Leo does not mind wearing it at all.<br/><br/>Leo is responsive to training and bonds quickly.<br/><br/>Leo would love a fenced yard where he can safely do one of his favorite things which is sitting outside and supervising the neighborhood! He would also enjoy a family who will give him a predictable routine, lots of good walks, continued training and plenty of affection.<br/><br/>Leo is a wonderful little companion who has been through a lot of change and is ready for a fresh start. He doesn’t need a perfect home—just a loving one that can provide consistency, patience, structure and plenty of ear scratches. <br/><br/>Adoption donation $200.<br/><br/> Please note that we do not ship animals.
