Story
Meet Leonard — Maltese-Yorkie Mix.
Leonard is a playful, affectionate 8-month-old neutered Maltese-Yorkie mix who loves people and enjoys being part of family life.
He is crate trained, pee-pad trained, and sleeps quietly through most of the night, although he may occasionally need an early-morning potty break.
Leonard is an adolescent puppy who is still learning manners, impulse control, and social skills. He enjoys playing with friendly small-breed dogs under 15 lbs and will need a family committed to continuing his force-free training and positive socialization.
🔊 Leonard Has LOTS to Say!
Leonard is prone to barking, and at times his barking can be excessive. He is definitely a little guy with a lot to say! His adopters must be prepared to continue working with him on appropriate barking and not expect a completely quiet dog.
🏡 Leonard's REQUIRED Home
Leonard's requirements are firm:
• Detached single-family home ONLY
• NO acreages
• NO apartments
• NO condos
• NO townhouses
• NO duplexes
• Secure, fully fenced yard required
• NO children under 12 — Leonard finds fast movements and loud voices scary
• NO cats
• NO medium or large-breed dogs in the home or regularly visiting
• A friendly small-breed dog under 15 lbs would be considered
• Commitment to force-free training
