My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi! My name is Leo. I am a petite little man, weighing only 11 pounds, but I have a huge heart.

I am 5 ½ years old and a sweet little love bug who enjoys laps and snuggling. Sadly, my owner passed away so I’m looking for a new family to love.

My foster mom tells me every day what a good boy I am. I love going for walks, I think car rides are super fun, and I am a very good boy when I go to the groomer and vet.

I am housetrained here at my foster home, but my alert at the door is quiet, so you’ll need to keep an eye on me to know when I have to go out. I do occasionally mark in the house, but my foster family has been working really hard on training me that it’s more fun to do that outside, because I get treats when I do! I am also crate trained and really love my crate. It’s my quiet space where I go to nap when I’m tired.

I already know basic commands like sit and come, but I’m super smart and ready to learn more.
I get along well with other dogs of all sizes…my foster sister is a 75 pound doodle and we’re besties!

I also get along great with kids over 10, but I don’t know about cats since I’ve never been around one.

I am a happy little guy who is ready for my forever family. Do you have room in your heart and home for me?

Leo needs another dog already living in the forever home to play with. Children in the home need to be at least 10 years old. He is located in NW NY
