He may be little, but he is fierce! Meet Leo the Lovely Lion. The fur sibling of Miss. Maggie Mae and Beretta (to be featured soon), he will steal your heart and snatch your spot on the couch in seconds!
- Name: Leo
- How I Got My Name: I was previously named; however, I didn’t fully respond to it. I am tiny but fierce and have fur like a lion’s mane. My mom thought Leo was perfect for me. I perked up and responded to her right away and knew I had a new “furever” home.
- Breed: Pomeranian
- Nicknames: Leo Magnitio (I’m like a magnet to my mom)
- Age: 1 year young
- Adoption Date: October 20, 2020
- Adoption Story: I was in need of a new home as my previous owners recognized that they could not provide me with adequate care or safety. I was sent to my new family’s neighbor’s home for temporary placement, but upon my arrival there, my current mom couldn’t help but fall in love with my charm! She snuggled me close and carried me home to surprise my dad. He was very surprised and quite confused. He asked who I was and who I belonged to. What a silly question when I already knew I belonged with them and my new sister, Maggie Mae! I jumped on his lap as my mom explained, and he agreed that I would stay with them furever!

- Best Tricks: I am really good at making goofy facial expressions and befriending every dog I meet!
- Collar Color I Sport Best: Blue with green sea turtles!
- My Fur Family: I live with my big sister, Maggie Mae, who is an Australian Shepherd and my little sister, Beretta, who is a Siberian Husky.

- Favorite Fur Friends: My favorite fur friends include my siblings and, quite honestly, any dogs I meet!
- Favorite Activities: I enjoy cuddling, running and playing in the yard, going for walks, and playing with all the squeaky toys!
- Favorite Toys: I love my squeaky turtle and hedgehog toys!
- Favorite Treats/Food: Apple Bacon flavored Fruitables Soft and Chewy dog treats are my favorite! Yum!
- Favorite Memories with Leo: Bringing Leo home and being able to pick him up every evening to get ready for snuggles under the covers before bed are our most memorable experiences!
- Life Lessons Learned from Leo:
- All things are possible, no matter your size.
- Play like a child, then sleep like a king.
- Second chances are possible, and love finds you when you’re least expecting it!
