Love Leo Rescue

We recently had to say goodbye to a very special Love Leo alumni.
Arthur joined our rescue six years ago after spotted him at the shelter. She knew there was something special about him and wanted to help him. He was put on the euthanasia list because he had become sick with an upper respiratory infection and we stepped in. His URI had been left untreated for so long it turned into pneumonia and he had to be hospitalized for several days. He pulled through and then found his forever home with our friend and dog trainer .
Over the years, Arthur became part of Cassian‘s training program. He helped evaluate hundreds and hundreds of dogs. His calm, steady and balanced nature helped unsure dogs feel safe. His hackles never raised, his lips never curled into a snarl despite how reactive or unbalanced the other dog may have been. He was pure sweetness and goodness.
He was truly a one in a million kind of dog. When he landed with Cassian, it was as though he knew what his purpose in life was: to help other rescue dogs find their place in the world.
We don’t know how old he was when he passed, but we estimate he was somewhere around 14 years old. He died peacefully in his sleep, in his house with the person that he loved and trusted.
We are so sad he is no longer with us, but we are so truly grateful that we got to know him and give him a life of love and meaning.
Arthur, you were a gem of a dog and you’ll be so incredibly missed, not just by your human and the Love Leo family, but by every dog who you helped become their best dog.
Rest in paradise sweet boy. We love you. 🩶

Romeo is a very handsome, loyal and loving fella, who has been let down by humans too many times. He was left behind when his humans moved out and lived in an abandoned, junk, filled lot for, who knows how long (well over a year). He was sad, scared and lonely, and didn’t know what he did wrong to deserve such a fate. At night, he would cry, and his neighbor heard him and her heart would break. The neighbors took pity on him and offered him food and water, but the lot was eventually sold, and they were worried that he would end up in the shelter only to be killed after enduring so much heartbreak. That’s where we stepped in. He’s now safe with us, neutered, vaccinated, and healthy. He’s in a foster home and has repaid his foster mom by showing how loyal and loving he is. His favorite place to be is with his head on your feet, while you cook or read or watch TV. He’s about 4 to 5 years old and roughly 55 pounds. He would make such a wonderful best friend for someone who’s looking for a sweet boy to join them on their journey. loveleorescue.org

Meet Chanel. This 14 years young poodle is being surrendered to our rescue. The child in the home has become unpredictable with her and the mom is worried for her safety. This lovely dog is fully house trained, good with other dogs and is looking for a quiet home with a soft bed to retire in. If you would like to give her the golden years she deserves, please fill out an application on our website: [email protected]

Ollie’s brother Brownie is just as perfect as our boy Ollie, but a lighter color :) Brownie and his brothers lived together until they were 8 months old, and they were all the best of friends. It speaks highly to their temperaments that 8 male dogs could live together peacefully in a tiny room. Brownie is around 9-10 months old and could not be sweeter. He loves all other dogs and is so respectful, but is also very drawn to being by a human’s side. Ollie is around 60lbs and he is ready for his forever home! Please consider adopting this gorgeous boy by visiting our website at loveleorescue.org to fill out an application for him.
