Description:

?? Meet Leo! ??Leo is a 3-year-old Feist mix with a gentle spirit and a heart ready for a fresh start. Leo grew up with the same family since he was a puppy, but recently came to us as an owner surrender when his previous family could no longer care for all their animals.Leo spent his early life inside but has been tethered outdoors for most of his adult years. Despite this, he’s a loving soul who, according to his former owner, does well with kids and other dogs. He hasn’t met any cats yet, so we’re not sure about his feline compatibility.Here at the shelter, Leo has been understandably nervous, especially during medical procedures. He may come across as shy at first, but with a little patience and a lot of love, we know Leo will blossom. He’s searching for a calm, patient adopter who can give him the time and understanding he needs to adjust to a new home and rediscover the joys of living life with a family.If you’re looking to make a real difference in a dog’s life and have a soft spot for gentle, timid pups, come meet Leo at?? 430 Bristol Drive, Statesville, NC. With encouragement and care, he’s sure to become a loyal companion and loving family member.
