NorCal GSP Rescue

Leonard sits patiently while waiting for his treat!  With him are Patch and Triton.

Ahhhhh, this is relaxing!

They have such nice comfy dog beds here, and I get to pick which one I want, plus there’s the couch!  I’ve learned to leave the caged parrot alone, and I’m getting along great with the other dogs.  My foster mom had this to say about me:

“Leonard is a dear.  He is a very well mannered dog.  Very polite and good with other dogs.  Leonard is very good at feeding time.  Sits and waits for his bowl to be put down.  I can take food from him and he is good with me.  He runs like a young dog but has not been real active more laid back and loves to be right with you.  The other thing that is great about him is that he is quiet.  Hardly barks at all.  In fact I’ve only heard him once and that was when he was happy about us coming home.  He is great in the house and is respectful of things.

He sits nicely when being fed a treat (does this automatically) and is very gentle.  He has been taught some manners.  Most of all he loves to be petted and loved.  He is prey driven but I have not noticed him doing the game of “chasing the ground squirrels” which is Patch’s favorite game.  He is not sure about the water, acts like he never has been swimming.  Over all he is a great dog and anyone would be lucky to get him.”

This is Leonard’s video from the shelter.  You can see what a friendly boy he is.  They had estimated him to be about 7 years old, our vet estimated about 6.  He was losing weight in the shelter, and after lots of tests they could not find a medical reason for the weight loss and determined that it was most likely due to shelter stress.   They asked us to help him before he got even thinner.

He came into our rescue program (so don’t call the number at the end of the video, he’s not there anymore!), and he really loves being in his foster home.  He’s getting three meals a day right now to put some weight back on him, and he really chows down!  The  home environment must be what he needed, and now he’s looking forward to meeting his forever family.  Maybe that’s you!?!

Meet Leonard, a handsome houndy boy!  His coloration, especially around his muzzle, makes him look older than he is.  The vet estimates him to be about 6.
