Story
Hello! It is with a heavy heart that I am having to do this. Leo is a great companion, energetic and may be stubborn at times. Leo is STRONG!! loves running, playtime and being a part of everything. He struggles with separation anxiety, skittish with loud noises and fireworks frighten him making him anxious and gets triggered. Leo enjoys to be cuddled and the center of attention. This boy is VERY SMART, always in the mix of things, nosy and curious to learn new things making him the best partner. Leo NEEDS to go to a home where someone has the time to dedicate to him and his needs. I rescued him from somebody that was unpleasant to him. Though I saved him and hoped to keep him, I don’t have the time nor the resources to help him and dedicate to him as he so deserves. All this baby wants and deserves is to be loved and he has so much love to give back. I know he would be a good fit to a family.

Story
Oso was rescued from the San Pedro Harbor Animal Shelter, San Pedro, CA on 7/17/25. He was surrendered to the shelter by his owner of six years. Oso was in the front yard with the gate open when a child ran down the street pass the open gate. Oso ran after him but came back and there was no bite incident or anything. However, the landlord saw this and told thr owner he had to give up the dog. Oso and owner were reluntantly crushed. Too bad they didn't try to board him and then get another apt. He is in foster care with my rescue and has been with me for two weeks as of 7/17.25. At first he was very aloof and scared. He does suffer from separation anxiety so needs a home where he is not left alone all day but now after two weeks he is doing okay with me going out. He has never been crated and is 100% housebroken and plays with stuffed toys and tennis balls. He is okay with small dogs, both sexes but not large dogs. Not been around cats. He needs a home without children or visiting grandchildren. He fetches and chases tennis balls. He has never been crated and sleeps in a doggie bed or pad. After two weeks in his foster home, heis getting to be quite affectonate and loves to be petted. He is good at the groomer's and his teeth are in excellent condition. He is current on all his shots and neutered. The owner filled out a very extensive and thorough owner interview/surrender info sheet. He is very afraid of fireworks. He did spent time with a poodle and chihuahua. He barks at people until he goes used to them but is not aggressive but needs time to decompress which is what he has done for the last 2 weeks in his foster home. Better photos coming.
