About Leon

Meet Leon! This charming little guy is a 1-year-old male Chihuahua/Shih Tzu mix ready to find his forever home. With his soft, cuddly red and white coat and medium-length fur, Leon is all about finding a warm lap to snuggle in. Although it takes him just a few treats to warm up, he quickly turns into your loyal shadow. He loves walks around the neighborhood and has a playful spirit, especially when squeaky toys are involved. Leon is the perfect tiny companion for those who enjoy cozy moments and playful outings. A home where he receives plenty of attention would be ideal, and he gets along with children, making him a wonderful addition to family life.

The adoption fee covers all initial vaccinations, neutering, and deworming. Leon is ready to join a family that matches his vibrant personality and needs. He could be your next best friend!
