My name is
Leandre and I'm a very good boy. My foster mom tells me this ALL the
time.
I'm not 100%
house broken, but I'm working at it diligently. As you can see from my
picture with my friends, I like both cats and dogs. I'm gentle with
kids, but they scare me more than adults. I has taken away from a
terrible place with 17 other dogs and kept in a kennel for many months
while they made a case against the man who imprisoned us for animal
cruelty. Thankfully they won the case.
Unfortunately,
because of the way I was treated by that man, I am a scared little boy.
I have to be chased to be picked up, but once on the couch or bed, I'm
very loving. I'm a morning pup and love to snuggle and play to wake up
my foster mom. I growl and nip (no biting cause I'm gentle), but it is
all in fun.
I am not
quite ready to go to my forever home because I have a terrible UTI. I
am on my third course of antibiotics (a massive dose twice a day), so
hopefully this will kick it and I'll be done with this infection. My
only other health concern is my seborrhea. I enjoy having my hair very
short so it doesn't mat or hold the extra oil my skin produces.
I do have times
when I gnaw at my paws and lower back because of the itching, but I
don't do that as often if I am bathed and groomed regularly. I also
like the oatmeal spray my foster mom uses in between baths to keep the
itching down. Right now I live in Charlotte, NC with 3 other dogs and 5
cats. I am not at all the dominant type, so I don't mark or fight.
It is probably a
good thing cause the other dogs here are all girls and they like pushing
me around! If you are my forever mom or dad, please be patient while I
get well. I promise I'm worth the wait!!
