LEO
Introducing LEO, the lovely lion and huggable, little puppy. He arrived at WFTRM Chicago and is just precious. He was born August 11, 2024 and is 6 months old and weighs 17.4 pounds. Leo is a Cockapoo with the softest most luxurious cream fur. He is playful, friendly with all, can be shy with new people or situations but warms up fairly quick. This adorable boy will steal your heart! He has been very good and seems mostly house trained with regular outings, knows sit and prefers being with his human, and feeling safe and loved. He can be quiet and relaxed when he needs to be and barking to get the word out when he hears a noise. Leo will bury his treats in the fur blanket on the donut bed, has the best time in the yard with Fabio and Zazu although they can play a little rough. Leo has come out of his shell and bouncing, smiling and running and having fun. He is innocent and just wants to be a puppy and explore and meet new friends. He went for an overdue grooming, did very well and wow what a transformation! Such a smashing Cockapoo is Leo with the most expressive eyes and milk chocolate nose.
How did Leo end up at WFTRM Chicago? Every day I get a call for help from an owner looking to surrender their dog (and cats too?). There is a list of Illinois licensed rescues and shelters that is passed out to anyone who seeks help from animal controls and government facilities. I always try to assist, putting them in touch with the breed specific rescue group. When I received the call from Leo's mom Jackie, we talked for awhile and really liked her and wanted to help. After sending Leo's picture - he reminded me of a Wheaten which are near and dear to my heart like the other terriers. I have no contacts for a Cockapoo rescue and since she was fairly close we drove to pick him up. She was so grateful and we have been staying in touch via text and sharing pictures. It is very sad the number of dogs that need homes and many are just babies. I know there is a very lucky home out there that would love this wonderful Cockapoo boy.
Leo is now Neutered, Rabies – Distemper – Bordatella Vaccinations, ears checked, Fecal checked, Groomed, Microchipped, on Heartworm Preventative & Flea & Tick.
