Leo (On Trial 9/8/13)

Hi, my name is Leo. I am a white scruffy Terrier X, 11 months old. I am looking for someone who likes long or short walks, cuddling up on the couch and just hanging out with me. But first, let me tell you a little about myself. I've come from a home that didn't know how to treat me very well but I am not letting that affect me and am ready to move on to a new forever home. I am told by my foster family that I am as cute as a button, very smart and quick to learn. As I'm still a pup, I am a high energy bundle of joy but am well-mannered and almost there with house training. I'm learning basic commands such as sit and wait.

I am just as happy bounding around the back yard as I am lying or sitting with you on the couch. I also love children and am very gentle with them. A the moment I love spending time with the 9 month old baby at my foster home and we sit together relaxing outside under the tree. I'm just an all-round Mr Nice Guy, my foster family say and I don't have an aggressive or mean bone in my body.

It is important for me to be with my family and so I am looking for someone who will include me into their lives and let me be inside, not just shut me outside. I would also love the company of another dog as I have so much fun playing with them. I do however, have a tendency to chase cats, not cause I don't like them, just more as a game but this does settle down once I get to know them.

I am really hoping to find him a loving home, and I promise I will be a wonderful companion to you!
