About Leopard
Leopard is in need of emergency placement. Currently at risk due to behavior concerns, he has shown high levels of arousal, pulling hard on the leash, and fixation on dogs and birds. Staff have at times had to restrain him to ensure safety. However, he is social with handlers and enjoys being petted, which shows his potential. His medical condition includes mild to moderate dental disease and a broken upper canine, along with a healed injury on his ear. Having arrived as a stray, Leopard's background is uncertain. He exhibits fearfulness, especially in a kennel environment, where he becomes tense and reluctant to exit. Because of these specific behavioral challenges, he requires an experienced adult-only home. He is on a 6-month quarantine due to past bite wounds, which also necessitates following specific guidelines in his future home. Leopard is ready to find his forever home, wanting a chance for a fresh start. He weighs around 64.5 lbs and is notably brown with black markings.
