About Leon

Meet Leon, a young male Wheaten Terrier mix who is about 1.5 years old and hails from sunny Paris, KY. Leon was once a stray in a bustling city shelter, seeking understanding amid change. He's now thriving in a loving foster home, where he gets along well with other dogs and enjoys the company of his foster family. Leon is housetrained and carries a calm demeanor, making him an excellent addition to a peaceful household. His beautiful curly coat, a blend of white and cream, will need regular care to keep it mat-free. Like many Wheaten Terriers, Leon has a gentle yet spirited personality. Although he warms up slowly to new faces, he allows gentle petting and enjoys being outside, where he can take in all the sights and sounds at his own pace. Leon would thrive best in a home without small children, where he can feel secure and let his unique personality shine. He is neutered and up to date with vaccinations. To help cover his medical care, an adoption fee of $500 applies. If you’re interested in making Leon a part of your family, please reach out today!
