Story
🏠 Leo currently in a Vancouver foster home
Hi! I’m Leo 💛 I’m a 11-month-old boy, a Jindo–Retriever mix, and I’m the same age as Theo! Right now I’m about 8.5kg—yes, I’m really that small! People say I might grow to around 10kg, so I’ll likely stay on the smaller side, even when I’m all grown up.
I had a bit of a scary start… I was rescued with Theo just before it was too late. But don’t worry—those days are behind me now! I’m healthy, bright, and so ready to find my forever family.
Everyone tells me I’m even cuter in real life than in photos. (If you meet me, you’ll see why… I’m tiny, wiggly, and full of charm!)
I’m still a puppy, which means I LOVE people. I’ll come right up to you, wagging my tail, hoping you’ll notice me. I really like being close—leaning on you, following you around on my short little legs, and just being part of your world.
Sometimes I play, sometimes I get sleepy very quickly (being this cute is hard work, you know!). I might wander off for a moment, but then I’ll come running back like, “Hey… where did you go? I want to be near you!”
Because I'm still a young puppy, I sometimes show my excitement through play by gently grabbing at pant legs or clothing. I'm not trying to be naughty—I'm just still learning the right way to play! With plenty of daily walks, playtime, and opportunities to burn off my puppy energy, this behavior usually becomes much less frequent as I grow. If I try to grab your clothes, a calm but consistent "No" and redirecting me to an appropriate toy will help me learn. Like any puppy, I need patient guidance to understand which behaviors are okay and which aren't.
I would also love an active lifestyle! Daily walks and fun play sessions are important for helping me grow into a happy, well-balanced dog. If possible, I'd enjoy safe opportunities to run and play freely in places like a dog park, where I can socialize, explore, and use up all my puppy energy.
I’m still learning everything about living in a home. Things like potty training, routines, and how to be the best companion—I’ll need your help with all of that. But I promise, I’m curious, eager, and ready to learn.
I’m not a “finished” dog yet. I’m a growing, learning, becoming kind of dog. That means… with your love, your patience, and your guidance, I can become the most wonderful companion you’ve ever had.
My personality? Bright, sweet, and full of love. My size? Small—but my presence? BIG. I’ll fill your home with happy energy, little footsteps, and lots of tail wags.
Right now, I’m living through my one and only puppyhood… This special, fleeting time full of clumsy steps, soft naps, and pure joy.
Would you spend this time with me? Would you watch me grow, teach me, and love me forever?
I’m waiting for you 💛
