My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Leonardo is a spunky and charismatic little Chihuahua with a big heart—once you’ve earned it, that is. He’s had some ups and downs in his journey so far. Although he was in a home before, unfortunately, he was returned because of a few quirky behaviors. But that’s just part of who he is, and with the right adopter, he’s ready to show you his true colors!

While Leonardo may be a bit slow to warm up, once he bonds with you, he’s loyal and full of personality. He can sometimes be a little grumpy (hey, who isn’t now and then?), but with positive reinforcement training and a patient, understanding adopter, he’ll make great strides. He’s looking for someone who’s willing to go at his pace, helping him feel safe and secure as he learns new behaviors in a supportive environment.

Leonardo is on the lookout for a loving, experienced owner who can help him gain confidence and trust. In return, he’ll be your little shadow, always ready to curl up with you for a cozy nap. If you’re ready to offer him the time and understanding he needs, Leonardo will prove to be a devoted companion with plenty of love to give.

Could you be the one to give this sweet, quirky guy the forever home he deserves? If you think you might be, reach out today and let’s set up a meet-and-greet!
