Southern Downs ARK has a number of dogs and cats up for adoption.
This week we’re highlighting LEO.
Age: 3 years 5 months
Adoption fee: $150
Leo is a male Bull Arab mix born on 15 April 2019 and is a loveable larrikin.
Leo’s foster mum was asked to nominate his top three qualities and this is what she said:
1. Leo has a loving, kind and generous heart and would make a devoted companion or family pet.
2. He’s very playful and absolutely loves kids, but would be best suited to older kids as he’s not a small dog.
3. He loves attention and turns into a big goof ball when you give him pats and tummy scratches. He’s very tactile and loves it when you hold his paw.
Leo is dog-friendly, but likes to be boss. He gets along well with all the other dogs at his foster home, but don’t ask him to share a food bowl.
True to his breed mix, he’s strong, active and high energy. He will do best in the hands of a confident owner and in a home where he’s regarded as an integral member of the family. He will need plenty of daily exercise and mental stimulation and the more space he has to run and play, the better. He’s not suited to apartment living or full-time workers. Prior large breed experience will be well regarded.
Being such a people-focused dog, Leo will be more content in a home where someone is around most of the time. As always, secure fencing is a must.
Leo is untested with cats and pocket pets.
If you are interested in meeting Leo, complete the online adoption form at southerndownsark.com.au/apply-to-adopt/ and one of ARK’s volunteers will be in touch.
