The BFPA website will provide more information. All dogs on our website ARE available and require an application from Best Friend Pet Adoption . FOSTER COMMENTS: Leo is a handsom 8.5 years old Foxhound mix dog who currently weighs 55 pounds. He is an easy dog to take care of. He is quiet, likes attention and cuddles, but is also fine hanging out on his own near his people. Leo is very friendly. He does not like dogs who get in his face, but ones that are more relaxed are his speed. He has been around several dogs ranging from small puppies up to 95lb dogs and has done well with them. He is allergic to cats and can be curious about them, so definitely best to be in a no cat home. Leo is good around older, more predictable children. If there are children in the home, they should be early teens at a minimum. Leo is housebroken and quickly does his business and comes back inside. Leo has never been in, nor needed, a crate. At night he is free to roam the house and sleep wherever he would like. Leo is well behaved when his foster family leaves the house. They leave the blinds up for him to look out in a few rooms when they are away and he spends time lounging in those spaces. He would do fine as an only dog in the home. He is an only dog with his current foster family. Leo is a low activity, low energy dog. He runs around with his toys for about 5 minutes a day and enjoys sprinting after pooping. Otherwise, he spends his time napping or looking out the windows. Leo is getting better on walks, but he gets excited about seeing other dogs and can be vocal and pull. He needs a patient handler who can help him improve his leash skills because he really loves to go on a walk. Leo likes to chew on dog toys, toss his soft toys in the air and grab/chase them, nap in sunny places, go on walks and car rides, snuggle up with people, and chase/murder bugs. Leo is an easy dog to take care of. He likes attention and cuddles, but is also fine hanging out on his own near his people. Leo is cute, sweet, and quiet and will do anything for peanut butter--including jumping in the tub for a bath and getting his nails trimmed! Leo is a great dog and would love a low-key life with people who are going to be patient with him. His foster parents report that Leo is the easiest dog they've cared for. Leo will need an experienced dog owner who is able to continue to provide a calm environment and maintain a routine. He is not suitable for a first time dog owner. An adopter who has experience with resource guarding tendencies would be ideal. Best Friend Pet Adoption will provide formal training guidance if necessary. Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed. Applicants must live no further than one hour from Cary NC as our dogs must be seen by a BFPA veterinarian for all medical care prior to adoptions being finalized. Our foster guardians deliver dogs to their new homes for adoption trials and we do home visits to finalize all adoptions. We therefore require applicants to live within an hour drive of Cary NC. If an ideal applicant lives a bit further, we may consider that application. INTERESTED IN ADOPTING LEO?
