Here's what the humans have to say about me:
LEON*****CONTACT SHELLY lovedogs.rescue@gmail.com---LEON'S STORY---WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DIRECTOR OF A HIGH KILL SOUTHERN SHELTER LETTING US KNOW THAT THE MOST ADORABLE PUPPY HAS JUST BEEN SURRENDERED TO HER SHELTER BY HIS FAMILY. THE FAMILY HAD A LIFE STYLE CHANGE AND REALIZED THEY WEREN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO GIVE THE LITTLE PUP THE DIRECTOR NAMED LEON THE TIME, CARE AND LOVE THE PUP NEEDED. "HE IS THE SWEETEST PUPPY AND WE LOVE HIM DEARLY, HE IS WONDERFUL WITH OUR CHILDREN AND OUR OTHER DOG. THIS IS THE HARDEST THING WE HAVE EVER HAD TO DO BUT WE CAN NO LONGER CARE FOR HIM. PLEASE FIND HIM A HOME WITH A FAMILY WHO WILL LOVE HIM AS MUCH AS WE DO. HE IS A WONDERFUL LITTLE FELLOW". THIS WAS THE OWNER'S PLEA TO THE SHELTER DIRECTOR. THE MINUTE WE HEARD ABOUT THIS LITTLE PUPPY WE WERE ON OUR WAY WITHIN MINUTES TO HELP. WE SCOOPED UP THIS LITTLE FELLOW AND LEON LEFT THE KILL SHELTER THAT DAY. HE HOPPED IN OUR CAR, PUT HIS ADORABLE HEAD OUT THE WINDOW, HIS EARS FLOPPING IN THE BREEZE AND LEON WAS OFF READY TO BEGIN HIS NEW LIFE***LEON--HAPPY, SWEET AND SO LOVING!!! LEON IS AN ADORABLE, 6 MO. OLD, 30 LB., YELLOW LABRADOR RETRIEVER MIX PUPPY ONE "GREAT" PUP!!. THE FIRST THING THAT WILL CATCH YOUR EYE WHEN YOU SEE LEON IS WHAT A BEAUTIFUL GUY HE IS. HIS COAT IS FLAWLESS, CUDDLE SOFT, A SPARKLING GLACIER WHITE ACCENTED WITH WARM APRICOT HIGHLIGHTS ON HIS ADORABLE EARS, AND A SPLASH OR TWO THROUGH HIS SPARKLING WHITE COAT. HIS EYES ARE SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WE HAVE SEEN THEY ARE HUGE, A DEEP, CHESTNUT COLOR AND TWINKLE LIKE A MILLION STARS WHEN LEON FIRST SEES YOU. YOU WILL WANT TO PAT THIS LITTLE PUP ALL DAY LONG AND AS MUCH AS LEON ADORES ATTENTION AND AFFECTION IS JUST FINE WITH HIM!!! ONCE YOU HAVE REGAINED YOUR COMPOSURE AND HAVE SAID "WOW" AND "HE'S SO ADORABLE" A HUNDRED TIMES JUST WAIT TIL YOU MEET HIM NOW "GREAT" KICKS IN. JUST CALL HIS NAME, HIS FACE WILL LIGHT UP, HE WILL PRANCE RIGHT OVER TO YOU, TAIL WAGGING OR IN LEON'S CASE HIS WHOLE BODY WAGS. HE WILL TURN THAT ADORABLE HEAD TO ONE SIDE AND GIVE YOU A LOOK THAT SEEMS TO SAY "HI I'M LEON, WHERE'S THE BALL? WANNA PLAY? LEON WILL PLAY FETCH TIL YOU OR YOU ARM GIVES OUT. LEON IS ONE OF THE HAPPIEST, MOST LOVING PUPS WE HAVE SEEN. HE TRULY IS "MR. SOCIAL" ADORES EVERYONE HE MEETS EVEN THE SMALLEST OF CHILDREN AND ALL DOGS SMALL, MEDIUM OR LARGE IT DOESN'T MATTER ONE BIT TO LEON JUST A NEW BEST FRIEND(HE'S EVEN FINE WITH CATS). HE WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY FAMILY AS THE MORE PLACES TO GO AND THINGS TO DO WOULD SUIT LEON TO A TEE. A PERFECT DAY FOR LEON WOULD BE TO PLAY IN HIS YARD WITH A FEW DOZEN TOYS, AND IF YOU HAD ANOTHER DOG OR SEVERAL IT WOULDN'T MATTER TO, LEON THE MORE THE MERRIER. IF YOUR DAY STARTED WITH A BRISK MORNING WALK OR JOG LEON WILL BE AT THE DOOR WAITING, HE WALKS BEAUTIFULLY ON LEAD, EYES TWINKLING, TAIL WAGGING ALL READY FOR LIFE'S NEXT ADVENTURE. DON'T LET LEON HEAR YOU JINGLE YOUR CAR UNLESS YOU PLAN ON TAKING HIM ALONG. OPEN THE CAR DOOR AND HE'S THE FIRST ONE IN, HE WILL FIND HIS SEAT TURN AND GIVE YOU HIS "COME ON LET'S GO" LOOK. LEON DOESN'T ALWAYS KNOW WHERE HE IS GOING AND IT TRULY DOESN'T MATTER TO HIM, HE IS WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE WORLD TO HIM --YOU AND THAT'S ALL THAT'S IMPORTANT. IF YOUR WEEKEND GET-A-WAY CALLED FOR A TRIP TO THE MOUNTAINS BOY IS LEON READY. HE WOULD SPEND THE DAY EXPLORING NEW TRAILS, CHASING ANY STICK YOU THREW HIM, THIS IS ONE HAPPY, LOVING PUP. NOT ONLY IS LEON ONE OF THE MOST ADORABLE PUPS WE HAVE SEEN NOW LET'S ADD SMART TO THIS GREAT PUP'S PACKAGE AND BOY IS HE!!! HE IS A PUP THAT IS EAGER TO LEARN, EASY TO TEACH AND MOST OF ALL HE DELIGHTS IN PLEASING WHICH MAKES TRAINING A BREEZE. HE IS LEARNING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS AND FINDS ANYTHING NEW YOU INTRODUCE HIM TO EXCITING AND A CHALLENGE. LEON IS A TRUE "OPEN BOOK" WILLING TO LEARN ANYTHING YOU WANT TO TEACH HIM. IT'S UP TO HIS FAMILY TO FILL THE PAGES OF HIS BOOK WITH PLAY, FUN, TRAINING, TRIPS TO THE PARK BUT MOST OF ALL FILL THE PAGES OF HIS BOOK WITH A TON OF LOVE. LEON JUST WANTS TO BE A PART OF A FAMILY WHO WILL SEE WHAT A TREASURE HE IS AND LOVE HIM, THIS IS THE ONLY LIFE HE HAS KNOWN, THE LIFE HE DESERVES TO KNOW AGAIN. THIS "LOVE ME" PUP ONLY HAS ONE REQUEST AND THOSE SPARKLING EYES TOLD US THIS THE FIRST TIME WE SAW HIM. HE WANTS TO KNOW THAT WHEN HE CURLS UP ON HIS BIG SOFT BED AT NIGHT THE LAST THING HE WILL HEAR FROM HIS FAMILY IS "LEON WE LOVE YOU" AND HIS EYES WILL CLOSE, HE WILL DRIFT OFF TO SLEEP AND YOU CAN BET THAT HIS DREAMS INCLUDE ANOTHER EARLY MORNING WALK, PLAYING WITH HIS TOYS, A TRIP TO THE MOUNTAINS, AND ANOTHER DAY SPENT WITH THE PEOPLE HE LOVES--HIS FAMILY!!! HE IS ONE OUTSTANDING FAMILY COMPANION!!!! IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT MAKING LEON A PART OF YOUR LIFE PLEASE CONTACT****SHELLY lovedogs.rescue@gmail.com LEON IS WITH OUR DIRECTOR IN THE SOUTH AND WILL ARRIVE IN THE NEW ENGLAND AREA ONCE HE IS ADOPTED. HIS ADOPTION FEE IS $450 AND THIS INCLUDES THE TRANSPORT FEE. LEON IS NEUTERED, CURRENT ON ALL VACCINATIONS INCLUDING RABIES AND BORDATELLA.
