Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Leo! Leo is an 8-year-old, 10-pound Chihuahua/Yorkie mix (Chorkie) looking for a loving forever home. He is house trained, incredibly smart, and very well behaved. He sticks to chewing on his toys and bones and usually only barks when someone knocks on the door—or when you turn playtime into a game of keep-away! Leo is a true little lap dog. He loves curling up on your legs in the evening, staying close to his person, and following you around to see what you're doing. He has been spoiled with plenty of soft, stuffed toys over the years and absolutely loves them. His other favorites include boiled chicken, bacon treats, and, of course, a pup cup from the drive-thru. Leo does well with cats, although he can be very curious about them. He is also good with small dogs, especially females. Because he was attacked by a large dog in the past, he is understandably very afraid of larger dogs and would do best in a home without them. He enjoys visits from children, but Leo is a pretty relaxed little guy who prefers a calm, laid-back environment. A home with small children around all the time may be a little overwhelming for him. Leo enjoys short car rides of about 30 minutes to an hour. He gets very excited—and a little anxious—when he realizes he gets to go along for the ride. Longer trips can be harder on him. Although Leo loves cuddling and being close to his people, his crate is also his safe space. He prefers sleeping in it at night and feels most comfortable staying there when his family isn't home. He thrives on routine and knowing what to expect. Leo had a difficult start to life and experienced abuse during his first three years. For the past five years, he has known what it means to be loved and spoiled, and he has become the sweetest little companion. Unfortunately, his current owner can no longer give him the time and attention he deserves. Leo is looking for someone who can give him plenty of love, affection, companionship, and a comfortable routine. In return, you'll get a devoted little shadow, a cuddle buddy, and a best friend who wants to be part of everything you do. Help us find Leo the loving forever home he deserves!
