Leo Mixed Breed Cedar Rapids, IA

Meet Leo! Sadly Leo found himself on an euthanasia list recently. He was terrified in the shelter and was very shut down. Luckily we had fosters step up for him (and his brother!) so that he could take his freedom ride to Iowa. He came into rescue and is now thriving.

Leo is approximately 1-2 years of age. 18lbs. His foster mom says he is kennel trained. He does very well with potty training.

Leo is very shy with new people. He LOVES other dogs though, so another dog in his new home will help him thrive. Due to his shyness older kids are recommended. He does awesome walking on a leash in the neighborhood though, meeting neighborhood dogs, seeing people out and about. Etc though. A fenced yard is preferred, but may not be required for the right fit home.

Leo has come a long way in a very short time! He wants to be with his foster mom whenever possible. He loves all his fur- siblings, large and small. He does play hard, so little dogs may not the best fit.

If you would like to meet Leo, please fill out an application at adoptapal.org/adopt. His foster mom would be happy to arrange a private meet and greet for approved applicants, so that you can see him in a setting where he really shines and isn't so scared.
