Meet the incredible Leo! 🌟 This charming, 5-year-old pooch is not just another dog; he's a beacon of hope and resilience. Weighing in at about 50 pounds, Leo has faced challenges that would break the spirit of many. Once the cherished companion of a loving owner who ensured he received all the care he needed, Leo's world took a tragic turn when he was left in the care of someone who neglected him. Imagine going from cozy cuddles inside to being chained outside without food or water! 😢 Leo was rescued just in time from a shelter, where time was not on his side. After being treated for heartworm, his journey of healing continues. With a personality that radiates warmth, Leo is described as friendly and affectionate, and he carries a calm demeanor that will surely charm your socks off! While he may have a little protectiveness around his food—understandable after his past—he's ready to love and be loved again. 🐾 He gets along well with both people and dogs (though he hasn't met any young children or cats yet). Leo's heartwarming journey has led him to a loving foster in Texas, but once his heartworm treatment is complete, this brave boy will be making his way to the NJ area, ready to start anew. He deserves a stable home where he can feel secure, and your kindness can make that happen! ✨ Are you ready to bring Leo into your life?
