About Theo

Meet Leo! This energetic little 4 lb Yorkie puppy is just 9 months old and can’t wait to show off his new haircut after adoption. Leo is full of life and loves to romp around, making him a typical playful puppy. He's crate-trained and leash-trained but still learning the ropes of housebreaking. He's slated for neutering on October 13. Despite his limited experiences so far—being mostly in a crate and not yet visiting a vet—Leo has a sweet nature and gets along well with both pets and children. An adopter with prior housebreaking experience or familiarity with Yorkshire Terriers would be ideal. Leo needs someone who can spend time with him and help him adapt to the outside world. This little charmer is available for both foster and adoption. Ready to welcome Leo into your home? He can't wait to meet you!
