About Leo

Meet Leo, a charming little Maltese mix looking for a special home. This handsome three-year-old has been through a lot; he and four other small dogs were abandoned and neglected, coming to the rescue matted and in need of care. After a good shave, Leo is starting to reveal his true sweet nature. Despite being a bit timid, he is affectionate and craves love and stability. Leo is good with other dogs, but he would do best in a home without children. His ideal adopter will provide him with the patience and nurturing environment he needs to thrive. Leo is already neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, making him ready for his forever home. You can meet him at our shelter in Kansas City, KS, during our open hours. Every dog deserves a fresh start, and Leo is waiting for you to show him what love feels like. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
