About Leo
Leo had previously spent an extended time in a pound, through no fault of his own. Leo has a lovely placid temperament and is quite social amongst his fur friends who are all German Shepherds. Since being with his foster carer, this big boy loves to be groomed and keeps his kennel and bedding spotless. He enjoys free walks in bushland open spaces and enjoys playing in creeks. Leo would love to have a female companion who is a similar size to play and bond with.
Leo has had a small amount of lead training to teach him to walk on a loose lead and this will need to continue to bring out the best in him. Leo will sit for his food and treats. His new fur friends have taught him how to chase a ball or rubber ring and bring it back which is his favourite game.
Leo has not been tested with small dogs or cats.
If you understand the nature of a German Shepherd, and are looking for a companion dog then please consider Leo. He will provide lots of love and companionship in abundance when he connects and builds that trust with his new owner.
If you live in Queensland or Victoria, you can be considered for adoption; however, you must be able to drive with your family to meet Leo. If for any reason he doesn't fit your family you will be responsible for bringing him back to Sydney or helping us rehome him from your home.
Medical notes
Leo is Desexed.
Adoption details
We have an Adoptions Manager who screens all prospective candidates as to their suitability to adopt a German Shepherd Dog.
We try to contact every one by phone but if that isn't successful we will email our application form to you, which needs to be completed and returned, or you can call us back and we can chat and complete for you. We will also ask you to provide photos of your yard and fencing to enable us to see where the dog will be kept and that they have areas of shade and shelter.
All our dogs are ready to go to their new home, so when you enquire about a dog you must be in a position to take them into your home. We are unable to hold a dog while you fix your fences or go on holiday, etc.
The successful candidate who adopts one of our dogs is provided with an information kit, ongoing support, training and advice on all aspects of feeding, training and general assistance to ensure both the new owner and our rescued dog settle into their home.
