About Lenny

Lenny is an 11-year-old terrier/poodle mix with a streak of independence and a big heart for play. He’s neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, making him ready for the next chapter. Lenny does not get along with other animals—he wants a single animal home where all the attention is his. Despite his age, he still loves walks and will happily romp in the snow when given the chance. He’s smart and knows what he wants: a companion who can stay home with him or take him along for the day. Lenny doesn’t like being left by himself and hates the crate. He can be food aggressive, so careful handling is needed during meals, but away from food he settles into the role of champion nap partner. You won’t find a more loyal snuggler than this guy.
