Story
Leonard - 5 years & 20lbs, Doodle Mix - Shnoodle?, Neutered
Our Team Says: "Leonard is a doodle, poodle, shnoodle - dream! He's got a wonderful personality. And a dreamy vbe - always down for a good time. Please note his adopter does need to be ready to deal with the classic small dog dental issues. He is in need of a dental post adoption and he does have one cracked tooth - it's not an emergency but somethng his adopter will need to be ready to take on."
Thier Foster Parent Says: "Leonard is an adorable Poodle/Doodle mix, around 5 years old, with the most expressive eyes that seem to make you smile the moment you look at him!He can be a little shy when you first meet him, but he warms up quickly and lets his sweet personality shine. He walks nicely on a leash and loves saying hello to other dogs he meets along the way. He knows how to sit when asked, and when you stop to pet him, he may pop up on his hind legs and dance around for your attention!Leonard is a sweet, well-mannered boy with a playful side. He loves a big, tasty bone, yummy treats, and running around with a teddy bear in his mouth. He still gets the occasional case of the zoomies, which makes him even more adorable! He has been spending time with a resident dog and is doing very well. When playtime is over, Leonard enjoys resting in his crate, curling up in his cozy bed, and relaxing. Leonard is housebroken and does best with several walks throughout the day to help him maintain his good habits. He does understand the word sit and No. Car rides can make him a little anxious, but looking out the window seems to help him feel more comfortable. With patience and reassurance, he can continue building his confidence. Between his soulful eyes, happy little dances, playful zoomies, and love of cuddles, Leonard has a way of making you smile without even trying."
TOLERANCE TO CITYAdjusting to the city – Spooked easily by loud noises and bustling areas but walks pretty well in quiet areas and probably just needs more time to adjust (may be a puppy or a brand new rescue).POTTY TRAININGYes - as long as you are on top of potty breaks, needs more help when he's transitioning to a new home COMFORT LEVEL WITH STRANGERSIn between bean – Fine with meeting new people but not particularly interested, kind of shy in busy social situations like a gathering or a packed day in the park.BEHAVIOR WITH CHILDREN (always requires adult supervision)Yes for most ages – very confident, gentle, low energy, tolerant, not mouthySOCIAL BEHAVIOR WITH OTHER DOGSYes – Good with most other dogs (sizes, breeds, etc.) as far as we know and enjoys socializing with other caninesRESPECTFUL BEHAVIOR WITH OTHER ANIMALS (cats, small pets, etc.) Okay to live with cats due to breed and size MOUTHY BEHAVIORPast this stage– Little to no interest in chewing on stuff or putting things in their mouth that aren’t food. Doesn’t try to chew on hands, feet, etc. during playtimeSEPARATION ANXIETYAdjusting – Might cry for a few minutes when you first leave the house but settles pretty quickly and has no problem being left alone otherwise.LEASH MANNERSOld Pro – Doesn’t pull hard or need much direction.CUDDLE BUG LEVELMedium – Likes to snuggle when he's in the mood ut often stays in his own bedJUMPING ON PEOPLE TO SAYListens to correction – Only jumps on people they know when really excited, stops with correction.CRATE TRAININGYep/mostly – Seems comfortable in the crate, may whine a little at first but settles pretty quickly. We use the crate when we leave the pup alone and/or at night.

How did this dog end up with Social Tees?Most of our dogs come via partner groups who help us save them from shelters where they are at risk of euthanasia in Tennessee, Los Angeles, and Puerto Rico. There are very few spay/neuter resources there and many more animals in those areas than there are people to adopt them. Rescue groups like ours bring them to the northeast where the desire for pets like these allows us to save their lives.
PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee any breed mix, exact age, or full grown size (if the dog is under a year old). We do our best with very educated guesses.
This animal is not at the Social Tees office, all are in foster homes.
