Leo's Story

Leo is a 2-3 year old, 57 pound, husky mix. He is a fairly calm boy...though he will have the occasional puppy burst of energy. Leo's will sit when you ask him to, and will gladly be your co-pilot when driving - he loves car rides and will jump right in the back seat and chill out for the trip. He is friendly with people and dogs.<br/><br/>- Personality: friendly, affectionate, fairly calm, good in car<br/>- Good with: people, and dogs. No cats for Leo.<br/>- Training: knows the command for 'sit'<br/>- Estimated age: approximately 2-3 years old<br/>- Weight: 57 pounds<br/>- Medical: vetted, up to date on vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped<br/>- Location: Currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area on our next monthly transport. <br/><br/>​Background:<br/><br/>Like so many dogs, Leo's story is a sad one. Leo spent the beginning of his life with a caring and loving owner who regularly took him to the vet and kept him inside (which is not typical for dogs in the south). Unfortunately, Leo's owner had to move into a senior residence, so he entrusted a friend to care for his beloved dog. Long story short, that "friend" kept Leo chained up outside without food and water. He was so skinny when he was rescued . He was brought to a kill shelter with a 3 day deadline for euthanasia. Luckily we were able to pulled him out in the nick of time. Once we had him seen by a vet we discovered that he was heartworm positive. We paid for his treatments and are happy to announce that he is now heartworm free and he is a very happy and healthy boy! He loves meeting new people and spreading joy like only a good boy like Leo can do! We really want to find Leo a loving, stable home. He must have been so confused, going from the love and safety of his original owner to being tied up and ignored outside. <br/><br/>Questions please email: info@ friendsforlifeanimalrescue.org<br/><br/>To apply to adopt: https://form.jotform.com/210286667669167<br/><br/>We always need fosters.
