Leo

Meet Leo, a charming six-and-a-half-year-old Yorkie Poo mix from Chula Vista, CA, with a heart as big as his fluffy cream-colored coat. This little gentleman has been a beloved companion since 2018, and he’s ready to bring his unique blend of loyalty and affection to a new loving home.

Leo is the ultimate greeter. He’ll meet you at the door with boundless excitement, proudly presenting a gift—whether it’s his favorite squeaky toy or even a pair of your sandals. His joy at seeing his people never fades, and his playful spirit will brighten any day. He loves park adventures, where he can explore and stretch his little legs, followed by cozy cuddle time at home.

While Leo is generally independent and fine being left alone for short periods, he’s definitely happiest when he’s with his people. He’s a constant companion who will shadow you from room to room, always ready to lend his warm-hearted presence. Leo is friendly with strangers and doesn’t mind cats but can be a bit selective with other dogs, preferring calm introductions.

This sweet boy has some quirks, like being a bit anxious around loud noises such as fans and vacuums, but with a little reassurance, he calms down quickly. His ears need occasional attention due to a history of mild infections, but he’s otherwise healthy and up to date on all his vaccinations. Leo is neutered, microchipped, and accustomed to regular grooming every 1–2 months to keep him looking and feeling his best!

Leo is looking for a family that can offer him plenty of love, attention, and a calm environment where he can continue to thrive. His perfect home would be one where he’s treated as a full-fledged family member, with plenty of time for snuggles, playtime, and strolls to the park!

If you’re ready to welcome this sweet, warm-hearted pup into your life, Leo will be waiting at the door with a wagging tail and a toy in tow. Could he be the loyal friend you’ve been searching for?

Reach out today to learn more about Leo and how to welcome him into your family!
