My story

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

Well hello there; my name is Leo. If you enjoy hiking, walking or just finding new adventures, check me out! I have a lot of energy but am also sweet, affectionate and love to cuddle. In the evenings, I love to curl up on a warm lap and just settle in. I also love to sleep in until I smell breakfast :) I am house trained, crate trained, don’t chew and generally easy to have around. I do have a strong personality and really need an experienced person. I do not think I would do well with young kids as they may startle me and make me uncomfortable. I do best when I have boundaries and I can get a little protective of my bed and crate. I am a very active 4 year old and would love to be your jogging or hiking companion! I also love to walk on leash and get very excited when I see my leash :)

After my daily exercise, I am very sweet and love to snuggle. I am good with other dogs and have recently learned how to play with my foster brother. I can be cat curious and have learned to respect the cats in my foster home. I sometimes even let them sleep next to me…shh, don’t tell! If you are dog savvy, do not have young kids and would like an exercise buddy, I just may be the perfect match for you!!

If you are interested in adopting Leonidas, you can fill out an application right on our website! Go to dreamhappytails.org/adoptform2.shtml . Leonidas 's adoption fee is $400. All adoption fees go directly to veterinary care for DREAM dachshunds. Leonidas will go to his/her new home microchipped, altered, heartworm tested, and up to date on vaccinations. Most dogs' veterinary expenses are greater than our adoption fees.

DREAM is an all-volunteer rescue group. We focus on the metro Atlanta area and can assist throughout the state of Georgia. Because we are all volunteers, we can consider applications only within an hour of these areas. DREAM does not recommend purebred dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a doxie's back.
