Character
EVERYONE loves Leo! Even people who don’t love dogs! If you’re looking for a real character - a dog who will give you lots of laughs, lots of fun and cuddles…this little one-eyed lion is your boy.
Leo, born 2023, 12kg, was a little bit cheeky when he first came into foster. We initially said we were looking for adopters with terrier experience, but Leo has really mellowed in his Norfolk foster home, and with is now super adoptable - maybe not a beginner’s dog as he does still need consistent boundaries - but for just about anybody else he would be a wonderful addition. ‘He can even watch Pete Wicks without barking now’, says his fosterer.
Leo can live with other dogs (he lives with 3 others of all ages and sizes in his foster). As he hasn’t got a nervous bone in his body so can sometimes be full on, liking rough and tumble vocal play. He might be a little domineering for a very quiet, older or nervous dog, but a lovely buddy for an enthusiastic kindred spirit (any size… Leo thinks he’s a Lion!).
Leo likes his dog pals but he’s more of a people-dog than a dog’s dog. He adores people, he adores men; he’s been lovely with his fosterer’s 7 year old grandson. His loves are food, cuddles and walks…. dog friends come after. So Leo would also be perfectly happy as an only dog as long as he kept up regular socialising with other dog friends.
Leo is clean in the house, crate trained, can be left alone for short periods, travels beautifully (he loves a long car journey) and has behaved very nicely in a care home (where everyone fell in love with him of course).
Leo no longer chews as he once did; he has learnt to live in a home and knows the difference between his own toys and other objects.
Originally, Leo came from Bosnia. He came to our rescuer's attention when he was hit by a car. Unfortunately Leo ran off before he could be taken to the vets. When he was found a couple of days later, his eye was found to be badly damaged and had to be removed. However, Leo really doesn't mind that he only has one eye and his cheeky jaunty look suits this loveable boy perfectly!

Please note - we do not rehome dogs to families with children under the age of 10.
Type of Home Sought
Leo is super adaptable and can live just about anywhere, as long as it has a garden. He loves chasing about. A busy household would be fine. A large household would be fine.
Leo will need a good amount of exercise, play and stimulation.
Leo chases cats so a household without cats unless they are extremely dog savvy.
Dogs or no dogs.
