Leo

My story

Meet Leo- He is sweetest little old man you have ever encountered. Leo came to YROA through a good Samaritan, who literally found him in the street. He was emaciated, filthy matted, and covered in ticks. Poor Leo also had a rotten mouth. He was not neutered, and we believe had been used as a puppy mill breeder. Leo is also blind, and we have no idea how he survived on the streets The good Samaritan, who found him reached out to us to see if we could help. We had him take Leo directly to our vet. He was given a medicated bath and shaved down. The vet took over 50 ticks off of him. He was also given a medication to kill any other fleas, ticks and their eggs. He had full labs, vaccinations, a Microchip, a dental and a neuter. He lost his 16 remaining teeth. With all of that and God knows what else he endured before he was rescued, Leo is nothing but pure joy. He’s a happy guy who has learned his way around his foster mommy’s home and will go to the potty outside if taken out regularly. He does have an occasional accident if left too long as he cannot see the pee pads and hasn’t quite figured that out yet. He does know where the food and water bowls are and his favorite bed. He loves to wander around the yard and smell the flowers. Supervised of course. He’s also amazing in the car and sits happily in the booster seat. He loves to cuddle and is in complete gratitude about all he is receiving. What a happy little guy. Leo is ready for his forever home and deserves a wonderful final chapter. Leo’s 14 years young and 6 lbs of joy. Can you open your heart in your home to Leo? He is located in Los Angeles. Applications can be filled out at www.yorkierescueofamerica.org
