Leo

Male · Young · 1 year

Medium-sized (28 kg) puppy, Leo, was taken from a dog hoarder by the police. In the darkness, unexposed to the outdoors, along with another dog and even a reptile, the dogs were kept. The dogs love all people completely – big or small, young or old. They play, cuddle, and are happy with everyone. It is true that when the play becomes too rough, Leo, unable to control his emotions, may grab a human hand more firmly. This impulsive pup should learn from this. It is true, fully possible, that at home, in a peaceful and stress-free environment, Leo will no longer do so. However, we would still recommend enrolling Leo in a basic dog obedience course to ensure he is not only sweet and lovable but also obedient. Leo is an active dog suitable for an active lifestyle home looking for a trustworthy four-legged companion, mate, and playmate. Even though it may sound silly, the shelter believes in active dogs, and a couple of kilos lost at home would need to be regained.

Vidēja auguma (28 kg) suņjaunekli policija izņēma no kādas pagrabtelpas. Tur tumsā, nevesti ārā, kopā ar vēl vienu suni un pat reptili tika turēti dzīvnieki. Sunim mīļi ir pilnīgi visi cilvēki – lieli vai mazi, jauni vai veci. Visus sabučos, aplēkās un priekā apries. Tiesa, kad prieki kļūst pārāk lieli, Leo, nespējot kontrolēt savas emocijas, var stiprāk satvert cilvēka roku. No šī netikuma rējēju vajadzētu atmācīt. Tiesa, pilnīgi iespējams, ka mājās, mierīgā un bezstresa vidē, Leo tā vairs pat nedarīs. Tomēr mēs tik un tā ieteiktu ar suni iziet suņu skolas pamatkursu, lai viņš būtu ne tikai sirsnīgs un mīļš, bet arī paklausīgs. Leo ir aktīvs suns aktīvu dzīvesveidu vadošai ģimenei, kura meklē sev uzticamu četrkājaino draugu, mīluli un lutekli. Lai cik jocīgi tas neizklausītos, bet patversmes maizē aktīvists tik un tā ir iemanījies pieņemties svarā un mājās pāris kilogramiņi būtu jādabūn nost.

About Leo

What life with Leo looks like

Leo is a young adult dog waiting at Labās Mājas in Riga.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇱🇻Adopting from Latvia

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Leo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Leo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Labās Mājas handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Leo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Leo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Labās Mājas will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Leo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Leo isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Labās Mājas early rather than rehoming privately; they know Leo and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (LV). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
