About Leo

"Leo" 10-year-old male yellow Lab 75 lbs Neutered Background. Found as a stray in Sacramento County. He was chipped and registered with the name "Yellow"... Attempts to contact his alleged owner came up empty. No one came to claim him and he chilled at the Bradshaw Animal Shelter until we sprung him. Getting some love from Yellow -- https://youtu.be/Hsc35nOAJZA Yellow and the squeaky toy -- https://youtu.be/Kry_xooyQ5U On-leash work with Yellow -- https://youtu.be/ZuDKlQ_-c_s Yellow and Amalthea -- https://youtu.be/MNhlCwl97ds What our evaluator says. What a friendly guy! Appears to be pure-bred. Wanted to come right up into my lap. Nice soft mouth. Tail wags like a huge windshield wiper. Let me touch and squeeze him all over. Little interest in food/treats -- zero guarding. Clearly his sight is somewhat compromised -- he was bumping into various things. Loved playing with squeaky toy - just had some trouble finding it. Did fine with female yellow Lab mix "Amalthea". No real sense of what walking on a leash is all about. What Leo's foster says. This senior gentleman still has a great pep step and is nicely settling into his foster home. Leo enjoys playing with his toys, he loves exploring the house and garden, hanging out with the other dog in the house and the family. Leo just really wants to be by your side and know where you are. Leo knows how to sit, shake, and lie down. He comes when called and he’s working on stay. Leo is potty and crate trained and is learning how to use the doggie door like a champ. He doesn’t let his impaired eyesight slow him; he walks nicely on a leash. He does bump into things but once he gets the lay of the land - he is able to navigate a room with efficiency. Leo is ready for his new home. What Leo's Rescue Rep says. Would be fine in a home with another dog. May be okay with cats. Would benefit from daily leash walks and a little exercise. We want an adopter with a backyard so he can chill in some cool green grass and enjoy some warm sunshine. Would love for his people to be around a lot. Medical. Current on vaccinations and microchipped. Heartworm negative. Neutered. A doggie ophthalmologist found that he has degenerative vision: "Progressive Retinal Atrophy, end stage, vision reduced to light perception, some hand motion in lighted conditions. Night blind." Leo is located in: Pleasanton. If you want to adopt Leo, please contact Rescue Rep Dave at david.c.ely@sbcglobal.net.
