Leo the Lion

 

This little lion has a big personality that is blossoming more each day. Leo has low vision and low hearing but it’s hard to tell because his spirit is so bright! He is a very sweet boy who will appreciate an adopter willing to take a go-slow approach. Leo has needed some time to adjust to the good life and learn to trust humans, but has made huge progress. His spirit is younger than his body and he’ll often roll over on his back to show belly or try to ‘dance’ with his front paws. Leo loves to take walks and is fantastic on leash. He has lived with other dogs, but will do best with lower energy, smaller dog siblings (or no other dogs at home is fine, too.). As an older guy, Leo has some medications he takes daily. He needs a patient, low-traffic home with lots of soft spots for naps and an understanding that this little muppet, while cute as a button, is more a cuddle-ya-from-the-floor type who likes his boundaries respected. Because of this he’ll do best in a child-free home. Leo can be a bit vocal when excited, so a home without shared walls will also probably be for the best.
