Leo - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Hatfield, Pennsylvania

Leo!

Meet Leo! This gentleman was found stray by a rescue partner in the South and
was missing a few parts. He has a docked tail, is now neutered (so missing...well, you know), and Leo has three legs! Yes, Leo is a tripod but is very well acclimated to life with only one rear leg (steps? No problem!).

He is estimated to be approximately 5 years old and was listed as an Australian Shepard
mix. He arrived a bit thin with some hair loss but his full coat is in now (and he
loves baths, so that helped) and we see some possible setter type vibes but who knows?!
Leo LOVES people (note capital letters). If you are interested in an aloof dog that likes his own space, this is not your guy. However, if having a close companion that would love to be beside you, often encouraging belly rubs performing a
beetle dance, this could be a match. His hobbies include receiving pets, snacks, eating in general, enjoying some outside time, more pets and snacks.

Although Leo has had successful meets with other dogs and is not reactive to them on walks, we have found he would thrive best as an only dog in a home and frankly, after what he has likely endured during stray life, we think he deserves all the attention in a home to himself. Leo is a dog desperately excited to have a best friend (think Velcro) and home of his own (he enjoys couches).
He is housebroken, although will have some excitement pees if you don't get him out quickly enough upon your return, so we recommend all greetings be done outside, or once he has had a chance to take care of business.

Leo is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. He is also heartworm tested negative and up to date on preventatives and wellness visits.
