Introducing Leo DiCaprio!
Are you ready to make a world of difference in the life of a shy but incredibly sweet pup? Meet Leo, the black and tan smooth dachshund with a dash of chihuahua charm!
**Appearance:**
Leo is a trim and sleek 10 lbs bundle of cuteness, with his birthday falling on July 11, 2021. His unique blend of dachshund and chihuahua heritage gives him an irresistible charm that's sure to capture your heart.
**Background:**
Leo's journey to finding his forever home began in a commercial breeding facility, where he didn't experience the love and care a pet deserves. Now, he's just learning what being a pet is all about, and he's ready to embrace the joys of companionship and love.
**Health Status:**
Leo has been neutered, undergone dental care, and is up-to-date on all his vaccines. He has also been heartworm checked, ensuring he's in tip-top shape to join his forever family.
**Personality:**
Leo may be terribly skittish and fearful of people initially, but underneath that timid exterior lies a heart of gold just waiting to shine. While he may take some time to warm up and trust, Leo is slowly but surely coming out of his shell with patience and understanding. He'll need plenty of time and love to build that precious bond.
**Social Life:**
In the comforting presence of other dachshunds in his foster family, Leo finds solace and guidance. He appreciates their company and looks to them for cues on navigating the world around him. Leo enjoys spending time outside, soaking up the sun and exploring his surroundings at his own pace.
**Hobbies:**
Leo is still learning about the joys of playtime and toys, but with a gentle introduction and the company of another dog, he may discover a newfound love for them. He's a blank canvas waiting to be filled with love and new experiences.
**Ideal Home:**
Leo would thrive in a home with other resident dogs, as their companionship provides him with comfort and reassurance. A secure fenced yard is essential for Leo to explore and enjoy the outdoors safely. While he may struggle with leash handling initially, with time and patience, he'll learn to conquer it. Leo excels in kennel manners once he's settled in, making him an easy-going housemate.
**Potty Training:**
Like any young pup, Leo's potty training is a work in progress. With consistency and positive reinforcement, he'll master the art of potty etiquette.
If you're ready to open your heart and home to a gentle soul in need of love and understanding, then Leo is waiting with open paws to join your family. Together, you can embark on a journey of trust, companionship, and endless adventures.
The suggested adoption donation for Leo is a minimum of $500 and goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our rescue dogs.Wag N Train Terrier Rescue adopts to an extended geographical area as long as we can locate a local volunteer to perform the required home visit. Approved adopters are required to travel to Omaha, NE to pick up their newly adopted dog. We do not arrange transport, or fly our rescue dogs without a "pet nanny". All of our dogs that come from a commercial breeding facility require a securely fenced yard AND a resident companion dog, unless the dog's bio states otherwise. Please note, invisible or underground fencing is not considered secure or appropriate containment. Adoption applications can be found at www.wagntrainterrierrescue.com/adoption-information
