Leo - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in VERNON ROCKVL, Connecticut

Some dogs greet you at the door. Leo greets you with his entire body. The moment you come home, this little Chihuahua turns into a wiggling, wagging bundle of happiness, twisting with excitement as if he's trying to deliver a week's worth of love in a single greeting. If affection were an Olympic sport, Leo would be bringing home the gold medal.

You'll rarely have to wonder where Leo is because his favorite place is right beside his people. He wants to join you for car rides, curl up next to you at bedtime, supervise household projects, and generally make sure you never have to experience life alone. Yet for all his devotion, he's remarkably easygoing and can entertain himself when needed. He simply prefers that the people he loves be nearby whenever possible.

One of the sweetest things about Leo is the way he cares for the animals around him. He has formed a special friendship with a three-legged foster cat named Aria. When Aria lets out her distinctive low, guttural meow, Leo comes running because he knows exactly what she wantshelp grooming the spots she can't quite reach herself. Watching him patiently clean her "needy side" is enough to melt even the toughest heart. He shares that same gentle affection with the dogs in his foster home, happily making friends wherever he goes.
