Adopt Leo (Лео)

Male · Adult · 5 years

LEO is about 5 years old. It weighs 40 kg, which makes it one of the larger sized dogs. It has been at shelter "our shelter" since the beginning of 2023 and is waiting for its Human, who will adopt and care for it! LEO is extremely smart, friendly, a little shy, careful and has eyes full of hope and love. It is looking for an owner, who will provide it with peace for life and who has a bit more patience. It is recommended to be kept alone, not in company with other dogs and animals. It is suitable for a secure yard. It travels well in a car, gives a paw and loves to play with a ball. It is important, if you want to meet LEO in person, to walk him or recognize your dog in him - contact the volunteers from "Leo (Лео)" from "our shelter", who will assist you with the meeting. It is a little mistrustful of strangers, because this hero has also suffered from human hands. LEO was named so as to be brave and wait for its family, with which it will live happily for a long time!

Read original (bg)

Лео е около 5 годишно момче. Тежи 40 кг., което го прави от по-големите по размер кучета. Намира се в приют „Горни Богров“ от началото на 2023 и чака своя Човек, който да го осинови и гледа! Лео е изключително умен, дружелюбен, малко плах, внимателен и има очи, пълни с надежда и любов. Той търси стопанин, който да му осигури спокойствие за цял живот и който има малко повече търпение. Препоръчва се да бъде гледан сам, а не в компанията на други кучета и животни. Подходящ е за обезопасен двор. Вози се добре в кола, дава лапа и обича да си играе с топка. Важно е ако искате да се срещнете лично с Лео, да го разходите или да разпознаете в него своето куче – да се свържете с неговите приятели доброволците от Осинови питбул от приют, които ще ви съдействат за срещата. Малко е недоверчив към непознати, защото и този герой е страдал от човешка ръка. Лео е кръстен така, за да бъде смел и да дочака своето семейство, с което да живеят дълго време щастливо!

About Leo (Лео)

What life with Leo (Лео) looks like

Leo (Лео) is a large adult dog waiting at Ecoravnovesie Sofia in Sofia.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇧🇬Adopting from Bulgaria

Bulgarian shelters typically include full vet workup, sterilization, and passport. Many coordinate with EU rescue partners for direct transport to adopter cities in Germany, Netherlands, and Austria.

Frequently asked

Adopting Leo (Лео), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Leo (Лео)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ecoravnovesie Sofia handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Leo (Лео) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Leo (Лео) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ecoravnovesie Sofia 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 (Лео) 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 (Лео) 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 Ecoravnovesie Sofia early rather than rehoming privately; they know Leo (Лео) 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 (BG). 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.
