My story

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

This handsome pup is a Distemper survivor, and he continues to thrive in his foster home. His foster mom says he is SO well behaved and sweet! Leo has muscle and nerve spasms in his front leg which are a result of his previous Distemper infection. His leg twitches every 2-3 seconds, and will likely continue to do this for the duration of his life. Specialists say that it’s possible it could improve over time, but there’s no way to tell. Leo is pain-free, and uses his leg when running and playing, and he doesn't even know he's "different". We give him supplements to build strength, and fish oils to lubricate the joints.

Leo loves every single person he meets, including kids! He is excellent with other dogs, and his ideal home would have another playful dog and a fenced yard for him to run around in - he also loves to lounge outside in the sun! Leo is about 40lbs. He is a hound/lab mix, and is potty & crate trained. He enjoys leash walks around the neighborhood, and gets SO excited every time he meets a new person or doggy friend!

If your family is looking for a really special, amazingly gentle and loving dog, Leo is your guy! Please visit our website www.adoptadog.org and fill out an adoption application if you are interested in adopting Leo.
