Leo is a pure bred ShihTzu and just delightful. He is playful with other dogs, attentive to people and his surroundings. He travels great in a car and is a snuggle bug in bed or with you on a sofa or chair.
He has an old, untreated neck injury but aside from tipping his cute face to the side sometimes (his owl impersonation), it doesn't hurt him at all and there's nothing that can be done to fix it. Until he was in a foster home that has no other people or pets, we didn't even realize that he's deaf. His prior family likely had no idea either. He would do best in a home with another kind, gentle when playing, dog to keep him more engaged. Otherwise, he just sleeps a lot and that's no fun for Leo.
He's such a charming love bug looking for someone to love him back as much.
No apartments, condos or alike. A home with a securely fenced yard only for this guy.
