About

Meet Leo

Meet Leo!!Leo is a very affectionate dog who enjoys cuddling and being around his foster parents.  Leo loves going for walks and likes to meet other dogs and people but is guarded with them up close. He likes car rides. He becomes so enthusiastic about walk-time that he attempts to put on his harness himself and jumps to retrieve the leash from its hook.   Though it was a challenge at first, Leo and our dog have become friends and now follow each other everywhere.  Leo has many puppy-like qualities and gets very excited when children are running and playing, so he would be best suited to a home with older children.  For a dog that was found abandoned in a crate Leo is progressing well with his manners. He responds well to commands such as "sit" and "down," and he performs adequately on recalls.  Along with learning to wait at the door before going outside, he is being trained to go in his crate.  Treats prove to be highly motivating for him.  Further training will be needed by his new owner.  He is very well behaved in the house and the backyard.  He likes to play with his toys in a fenced backyard but is content to sit and watch everything around him.      Leo would thrive in a household with another dog but is not compatible with cats.  We believe Leo is ready to find his permanent home.  Leo is being fostered in Marquette Heights, IL Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions about Leo.  You can complete an application to adopt leo or any of the dogs on our website at www.comebyebcrescue.org .   ***  The potential adoptor will get a refund on the Application Fee if it’s determined by the Foster Parent that it’s not a good match for the dog and the dog for them, if we do not process their application.
