Story
***Local adoption only: Leona needs a family in the central Florida region (Orlando area) who can commit to taking her to her final follow up appointment with PPR's vetting partners. The cost of this appointment is covered in her adoption donation.***
Hi, I’m sweet Leona, a 1-year-old Yorkie blend weighing 7 pounds of pure puppy energy! I’m curious, resilient, and affectionate and hoping to find a loving home with another playful dog and a special person who is home more often than not.
Favorite Things: Leona is all puppy and wants to play, play, play! She loves her squeaky toys and will play by herself or have a quick game of fetch with her person, but her favorite playmates are other pups. She lives for a good zoomie chase and a wrestle or two and when she’s ready to settle down for a nap, she seeks out another dog to be close to. This little girl is also a lover of food - the smells, the taste, the texture – it’s all heaven in a bowl (or cup or whatever!).
Training & Manners: As a puppy, Leona will need someone who is at home more often than not during her first months in the home to help train her, let her out frequently, and raise her into the delightful girl she was born to be. She’s working on her potty skills, but it’s a work in progress. She’s an excellent scavenger and will find any tissues or paper you have and throw a confetti party but she’s learning! She’s also working on her leash walking skills, loves a car ride, and sleeps well in a secure space at night.
Health & Care: Leona will need to have her final follow-up appointment with our vet partner and her adopters must commit to taking her to that appointment. The cost is covered in her adoption donation. She is spayed, heartworm negative, current on vaccinations, and microchipped. She’ll need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any pup. And to look and feel her best, she’ll need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks.
Other Animals: This playful pup adores other small, playful dogs. She loves having another dog to play with and cuddle up with during nap times. She hasn't been observed around cats yet, but her foster thinks she'd get along with them.
Children: As a puppy, Leona is still working on her manners so she’ll do best in a home with patient older children, ages 8+.
Ideal Home: Leona would do fine in any type of home but she can be quite vocal when left alone in the home at this point so a single-family residence might be best. She loves to run and play and will need a secure, safe space to do this.
Overall: Leona will be the perfect pup for an active family in Central Florida who can train her, guide her, and love her forever, puppy quirks and all. If you think Leona might be the one for you, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption application. If it seems like a good match, our team will reach out with more information. Her adoption donation is $600.
