Why I need a new home

Relocating

My story

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


Leo came to me in August 2023, he was my daughter in-laws dog since he was 8 weeks old. He's 5 now. Was supposed to take care of him for 1-2 months, just until my daughter in-laws mother built a fence. Unfortunately her mother did not want Leo back as she has 2 Rottweilers and couldn't handle all of them together. I ended up keeping Leo to avoid shelters. Leo got his shots, neutered and medicinal shampoo (missing hair on his back) in Oct 2023. He needs a bath 2-3 times a week with this shampoo to help his hair grow back. Sadly I work 2 jobs 6 days a week and I am unable to give him those baths and give him the exercise that he needs. So I need to find him a home with space. He has always been around dogs, cats and kids. It will take him only a few minutes to acclimate. He is a beta dog, he will back up his leader. He is lovable, cuddly and a big baby. He has the cutest wrinkly face. I call him my old man. Leo can eat a lot and NEVER gain any weight.
