About Leo

Meet Leo, a charming little fellow who may look serious at first, but he's full of personality. At just 4 months old, this brown and black Chihuahua mix weighs 11 pounds and brings a unique, judgy expression whenever overwhelmed by loud noises or busy environments. Leo was found as a stray, and he prefers a calm, cozy home instead of crowded spaces. He's a true cuddle bug who loves to be right by your side or curled up on your lap. Although still a puppy, he's learned to walk nicely on a leash. He can be a bit cautious with new dogs, so he thrives best with calm companions who allow him to warm up at his own pace. While he might glance at cats with curiosity, he's more inclined to keep his distance and do his own thing. Leo is healthy, neutered, microchipped, and fully up to date on his puppy vaccinations. If you're looking for a peaceful and loving companion, Leo is ready to find his forever home. Come meet him soon!
