Some dogs come with stories that stay with you long after you hear them. Leo is unfortunately one of those dogs. What he has been through is hard to think about and even harder to understand. Leo was kept in a crate that was too small, starved, and forgotten about. His previous owner was charged with cruelty and Leo was finally given a chance to start over.
Fast forward to last weekend. Leo spent his day at a vineyard surrounded by hundreds of people, other dogs, fresh air, and love. The same dog who once had nothing was trotting around with a little necktie, stopping for belly rubs, and handing out kisses like it is his full time job.
Leo is a 1 year old, 30lb, mixed breed looking for a forever home. He is the perfect mix of adventure buddy and couch companion. He loves being around people, soaking up attention, and showing off his impressive zoomie skills. He is up to date on vaccinations and has been neutered.
Leo is the kind of dog who reminds you why second chances matter. He’s resilient, affectionate, and so ready to be someone’s whole world. After everything he’s been through, all he wants is love. If you’ve ever believed in the power of a fresh start, Leo is it. He has been through the worst and we are committed to helping him find the very best.
