Leonard

Leonard is a 2-year-old neutered male Heeler/Hound mix with striking red and white coloring and the prettiest speckling that makes him truly stand out. He came from a situation where there were many dogs and limited positive human interaction, so he is still learning how to build confidence and trust with people. Leonard has already begun making progress, but he will need a patient and understanding family willing to continue helping him grow at his own pace.<br/><br/>Leonard would do best in a calm home without young children, where the environment is predictable and quiet so he can feel safe while continuing to build his confidence. With time and patience, he has the potential to form a deep bond with his people.<br/><br/>He is very treat-motivated, which makes him a great candidate for training using positive reinforcement. Leonard is still learning how to walk on a leash and will need someone dedicated to helping him gain confidence and develop those skills. With consistency, encouragement, and plenty of tasty rewards, he is very capable of learning.<br/><br/>When meeting other dogs on leash, Leonard has seemed okay with gentle, respectful dogs, but he can show barrier reactivity and may be selective about his canine friends. Because of this, a meet and greet will be required for any dogs in the home to ensure a good match.<br/><br/>Ideally, Leonard would thrive in a house with a secure yard where he can safely explore, stretch his legs, and continue building confidence. With the right patient family by his side, Leonard has all the potential to blossom into a loyal, loving companion.
