    You can't help falling in love with Leo's big round eyes. This handsome Rattie mix is just 1 year old and at 10 lbs. is the perfect size for doing what he loves best--curling up in your lap. He adores being close to his humans and is eager for their attention. He's more cautious with strangers and will bark initially at visitors in his foster home, but he'll settle down and get comfortable with them if they just ignore him and as long as they're not little kids. Young children make Leo nervous, and if they run, he will give chase and possibly nip at them. Any children in his adoptive home need to be old enough to behave calmly around him and should have had experience in interacting with dogs. Large dogs can also make Leo nervous, and it takes some time for him to feel comfortable with them. He gets along just great with dogs of his own size, however, and he enjoys playing with them outside in the fenced yard. He is also quite playful with cats and has recently become an awesome big brother to a tiny kitten! Leo's idea of a perfect day would be one with ample amounts of time to play outside, followed by some time to stretch out and bask in the warmth of the sun. He would also like to fit in a long, leisurely walk on leash and will keep a nice, easy pace. He hopes you'll have some time for training because he's quite smart and is doing well at learning some basic commands. He is house-trained if kept on a schedule and has started sleeping in a crate at night with no complaint. If you invite him, he'd probably still prefer to join you in bed, snuggled up next to you under the covers. Can you imagine a more pleasant way to drift off to slumber?
