Leo - Havanese and Shih Tzu Dog for Adoption in Thornwood, New York

Meet Leo!

Leo is a 4-year-old, 17-pound Hanaese/Shih Tzu mix (our best guess) who is an all-around good boy. He may take a quick minute to warm up and learn to trust, but once he feels safe, his sweet personality shines through.

Leo absolutely loves other dogs and is wonderful with people. Hes learning the ropes in his foster home—doing his business outside, discovering toys, and learning that he is finally safe and loved.

This sweet little guy is making great progress and is looking for a patient family who will give him the time and reassurance he needs to blossom. Leo has so much love to give and is going to make someone a very special companion!
