Leonardo DiCaprio

Leonardo is a handsome 2-year-old male Pit Bull Terrier mix who arrived at the shelter after being found abandoned in a park. When he first arrived, Leonardo was severely underweight and nervous, often hiding in his kennel. Thanks to dedicated refeeding programs and veterinary care, he has gained over 37% of his body weight and is showing more confidence. Despite his progress, Leonardo is still a bit unsure in the busy shelter environment and is dreaming of a quiet, loving home where he can finally relax and feel safe. He appears to have dog-friendly potential, pending a meet-and-greet at the shelter.

Ideal Home

A loving and patient home where Leonardo can feel safe and relax. He shows potential for being good with other dogs, but this will need to be assessed with a meet-and-greet.

Ongoing Health

Leonardo has made significant progress in regaining weight and is now at a healthy weight for his size. He has received veterinary care and is up-to-date on vaccinations.

Training & Support

Leonardo is still a bit nervous and unsure, so he will benefit from continued positive reinforcement and a calm environment to help him build his confidence.
