Leroy *LOCAL*

Description

To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application   HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see   HERE Age: 2 years Weight: 24lbs (as of 10/30/26) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Leroy is a confident, affectionate guy who is nearly perfect in every way.  He is at the a great age—past the tiny puppy phase, but still full of youthful joy and eagerness to learn and explore.  He has a heart of gold and thrives on human companionship.  Oh, and did you notice his beautiful unique sleek blue-brindle coat and hazel bedroom eyes?  He is a dreamboat boston and just wants to be loved! Whether you are looking for a hiking buddy or a loyal companion to hang out with in the backyard or on the sofa, Leroy is eager to please and ready to fit right into a routine.  Leroy has lived with large, playful dogs, as well as small sedentary seniors and done well with all types, though he seems to be a natural co-exister, preferring less direct interaction with other dogs than more .  With other dogs of all shapes and sizes, he is non reactive, doesn't hold grudges, beats to his own drum and shares resources nicely.  When his people are home, Leroy likes to be touching or ON his humans, as well as in the same room.  He LOVES his neighborhood walks - seeing all the sights and smelling all the smells - and walks nicely on a loose leash with no reactivity.  He also enjoys lap cuddles and pets, putzing around the yard, and lounging on the sofa or dog bed.  He is quiet, non-destructive, and rides nicely in the car.  He is also comfortable being crated and left alone for 3-4 hours at a time, though of course he would rather go with you! Leroy appears to be housetrained (full bladder and bowel releases are reliably outside), but he is still transitioning into his RI home and we are seeing some marking behavior inside.  He is tolerant of a bellyband, which we are using during this transition period.  We are hopeful that this behavior will reduce as he settles into his new home and routine.  This behavior may be easier to manage and/or work through in a household without other dogs/dog scents. We don't have history on how Leroy does with children or felines, so a home with these variables where he can be safely introduced would be ideal to start. With a little patience, training, and plenty of love, Leroy is going to make an absolutely incredible companion. An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see   HERE   for more information about this.
