🌟Introducing the one and only Leary! This delightful, 4-year-old, 20-pound dachshund mix is not just a pet; he’s a bundle of quirkiness and love wrapped in fur! Imagine a pup who's part snuggle bug and part adorable goofball—Leary embodies that to the fullest! With a personality that keeps everyone guessing, he can be your shy little shadow one moment and then launch himself into your lap the next, as if you’ve been best friends forever! 😂 Leary is particularly fond of young kids, but hold onto your hats because this little guy has a special move he loves to show off—the classic ‘rear-happy’ jump! He might need a little supervision around toddlers who are still mastering their balance, but he doesn't mean any harm. He just wants to spread love and joy! When it comes to socializing with other dogs, expect a mixed bag! Leary can be playful, curious, and sometimes a bit grumbly, so he’s likely best suited as the solo star of your household or with a chill dog buddy who respects his boundaries. As for cats? Well, that’s still a mystery—he hasn’t been tested yet! But with humans? This boy is a social butterfly! He’ll climb right into laps without a second thought and is all about those cuddles! 🌈 Let’s talk about his outdoor adventures! Leary is still honing his leash skills—think zigzagging explorer! While he might not be the perfect walking partner just yet, he’s potty trained and uses his doggy door like a pro, although he might use a rug as his backup plan if he's feeling rebellious. Crate training? Check! He may give a little whine now and then, but once settled, he’s a dream. 😴 Now, here’s where the fun comes in: Leary LOVES car rides! Just a little warning—zoomies will unfold in the backseat, and he can’t resist being close to his humans during the ride. Nighttime is his snooze-fest, and this little alarm clock is up bright and early at 7am. Who needs a morning cup of joe when you've got Leary waking you up with puppy kisses? ☀️ Quirks? Oh, he’s got a few! Very vocal, Leary barks at shadows, at anxiety, and sometimes, just for the fun of it! His anxious tendencies mean he needs a calm, structured environment to really shine. With his sharp mind and eagerness to please, Leary is a clever boy who picks up tricks in no time. How about agility training? This energetic pup is up for the challenge but will happily crash for a nap in your loving embrace afterward. 💤 In terms of health, Leary has been vetted and is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm. His loving adopter will need to continue his monthly medication and schedule a follow-up test once treatment is complete. But fear not; this journey is just a chapter in his story and he's already on the right path! 💪 So if you’re ready to welcome this sweet, goofy guy into your home, Leary is waiting for you! Apply to adopt through the Buddy App and start your adventure together today! His heart is big, and his love is even bigger! ✨
