About Grandpa Leo
Grandpa Leo is a 12-year-old Shih Tzu with as much heart as character. Despite missing one eye, this small senior still carries himself with dignity and a quiet, endearing confidence. Leo takes a gentle, cautious approach to new people and places, but wins over patient humans with his mellow spirit. Once he settles in, he becomes affectionate in his own way—preferring soft beds, calm days, and pets along his back to fussing over his face. He likes attention but only when he's in the mood, making him a classic "grandpa" who values both company and independence. Leo gets along with dogs, but does not do well with cats and needs a home without children so he can fully relax. A serene home where he can nap, take leisurely strolls, and receive gentle affection suits him best. Now well into his golden years, Grandpa Leo deserves to enjoy retirement in peace, surrounded by people who appreciate a quiet, loyal companion. If you want soft snuggles, wise glances, and the occasional grumpy utterance from a senior who's been through a lot, Leo’s your guy. Fun fact: with a February birthday, Grandpa Leo is an Aquarius—he's independent, quirky, and a bit of an original. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
