Story
He is a lovey and safe with kiddos. He's still a bit jumpy, but that's when he's excited. When he is regularly walked, he's not as energetic. He love to eat and is very quick and sneaky. He's not fixed yet. I was planning on it, but my health has taken up a lot of my time. He loves the outdoors, but not so much when it super cold and rainy. He can handle the cold to a certain extent though. He doesn't do a lot of chewing up things, but if you leave it long enough it's free game for him. Contact Hananh Pet Hos[pital 503.300.6458

His unique personality makes him a special companion for those who appreciate a thoughtful and gentle dog.

In a nurturing environment, he is calm, relaxed, and exudes happiness, making him a comforting presence in any home. Shy but Warming Up: Initially shy, Leo is starting to feel more comfortable around people. With time and gentle interactions, he is beginning to open up and show his affectionate side. Fears and Training Needs: Leo has a particular fear of walking canes and requires a gentle approach in training. Building confidence and trust has been a focus, and he is gradually accepting body handling with positive reinforcement.

Regular Veterinary Care: Keep up with Leo's vaccinations, check-ups, and any necessary medical treatments. Balanced Diet: Provide a nutritious diet suited to Leo's size and activity level, alongside fresh water at all times. Grooming Needs: Although his coat requires minimal grooming, regular brushing will keep it healthy and shiny.
