Meet LEONARD

Leonard... we love his sweet and slightly salty labby spirit and you will too! He has an endearing personality, he's older, he just `gets` things, he has a great grasp of the verbals and he's really in tune with his people. Of course he knows everything you expect, he's housetrained like a tank, has nice manners and is often a loose leash walker. He lost his home and his very important man who had to give him up to a life's hardship. He then was displaced back into the same shelter he started at a few years ago. 13 years looks good on him though, and he's not letting it hold him down but it's not a great age to be in a shelter...Leonard loves life on both the easy and wild side - these days `wild` means chasing a tennis ball for 5 or 10 minutes or swimming a little or barking for treats (yes please & many!) and `easy` means lounging on a luxury liner bed with a smile. Leonard doesn't like to dine alone in a noisy kennel. He waits until walk time and corrals us in his kennel to be present while he devours his dinner and makes us wait. He has us wrapped around his little paws! Leonard also has a large mass that needs to be removed from his rump and the longer he's here the larger the risk it may erupt. We're going to get that fixed through medical sponsorship by ClassicCaninesATX but he needs to recover in a home, not a shelter kennel. Can you help Leonard by giving him a pet free home so we can get this work completed? Leonard is on the URGENTS LIST and supported by so many fans and especially by his friends at Orange Dot Crew and Classic Canines.
