About Leon

Meet Leon, a gentle 7-year-old red Toy Poodle who is just starting to discover the good life after spending seven years in a puppy mill. This little guy is shy at first, but he has a sweet, mellow nature that shines through as he learns to trust. He loves stroller rides and is curious about new experiences, taking everything in at his own pace. While he is making great strides with his potty training, he needs a patient family who can celebrate his small victories while he adjusts to his new life. Leon would thrive in a calm home without young children. He also requires a securely fenced yard, which will help him feel safe as he continues exploring the world. A friendly dog companion would be valuable for his journey, guiding him through the joys of being part of a family. If Leon had a theme song, it would undoubtedly be "Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” symbolizing his hope for a brighter future. Are you the one who can help him find that rainbow?
