My story

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

My name is Leon. I am still looking for my special place. I have had some opportunities but nothing has panned out for me so far. It's sad because I really deserve a chance to get back into a real home. Right now, unfortunately (but hey sometimes it's fun - I have a lot of friends there), I am in boarding in NJ. The people there are the best... they are so dedicated to my well-being. In a lot of ways... I am lucky. But, I am not doing so hot all the time. It's not natural for a dog to be in boarding for so long. I lived in a home for over 3 years prior to ending up in this situation; it's confusing! I am a 75 lb, almost 4.5 year old Dane/Border Collie/something tall mix :). I am so loyal to my people and I am a great listener, respectful and overall a catch. I am good with most dogs and play with the other dogs most days while in boarding. That being said, I lived as an only dog for most of my life so we think that's really what I would thrive having again. I am completely trustworthy left alone. If you work during the day, I am your dog. I am used to it! I would love a single family home. I am used to living in an apartment so it's not out of the question but a less crowded space would be nice.

I need a foster or an adopter who is familiar with dogs that have some stranger danger. Once I trust my humans, I trust them with all my might but I need a little time to make that happen. A quiet home would be ideal for me! I just need a little understanding and someone who can be satisfied with me being me. https://asecondchanceforziva.org/adopt/adoption-process-application/
