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

RELIES ON DONATIONS TO SAVE, SUPPORT AND OFTEN REHABILITATE LIVES. WHICH BRINGS LIVES LIKE THIS TO THE FINAL GOAL OF PROVIDING A SAFE PATH TO A NEW FOREVER HOME. GO TO SPONSOR BUTTON TO HELP SAVE A LIFE! FOR MORE INFORMATION ON R.E.D. GO TO WWW.RESCUEEVERYDOG.ORG Meet Leo! Or, as he is most commonly called around here, Uncle Leo. This dog is waiting for his best friend. He is amazingly intelligent, and full of fun and love. Leo is one of those dogs that is so full of life and happiness that he brings joy and entertainment to whomever he is with. He is a good boy who wants to please and loves hanging out watching TV or going for walks. He rides well in the car and is an excellent companion. He has done well with most other dogs. He is a Rat Terrier, though so requires a non alpha companion and proper introduction. He then becomes most dogs play friend and cuddle couch buddy. He hangs out with tiny to big dogs and has done well. I think the cutest thing and the way he has earned his name, Uncle Leo is that this remarkable soul has a profound love and nurturing nature for animal babies. He shares his foster home with a litter of tiny breed foster puppies. Uncle Leo, loves each one and keeps an eye on them making sure they are handled with love and are safe. He will let you know if a tiny one is, in his opinion, ;o) in need of something. He will plunk himself right down in the middle of the babies and spend endless time hanging out with them. So sweet and nurturing. Leo's lifetime owner ended up in a housing crisis and like many dogs and Leo came to R.E.D. to find another loving home. This is a hearty, long lived breed that can remain very active well into their teens and the average life span is 15 to 18 years or more and have lived into their 20s. Leo is approximately 10 and in excellent, active condition. Leo is house and crate trained, and has been excellent at going out side to do his business. Sweet, Uncle Leo, is looking for his new, faithful, forever, people. Mandatory fenced yard. No apartments. Some Condos and homes with a private use fenced yard maybe considered. No children under 8 years of age. Adoption donation for this companion animal is 200.00. Donations cover some of the care costs for R.E.D. animals.
