Adopter Leo
Krydsede raser · Mand · Voksen · 6 år
KAN DU være LEOs match? Leo var fra den første lammefølge, vi støttede gennem Elisa (vores dyrebeskytterpartner), allerede i foråret 2020. Han blev reddet sammen med sine 3 søstre og tog til et hjem i Storbritannien i efteråret 2020. Desværre kom Leo tilbage i vores omsorg, efter at have været i et hjem i over 3 år, og har været i pleje hos en af vores flotte frivillige siden november 2023. Vi håber, at vi kan finde ham et adoptivt hjem, der passer til hans behov. Årsagen til, at Leo blev afleveret til vores omsorg, er, at han udviklede nogle adfærdsmæssige problemer, som hans familie ikke følte, de havde tid til at arbejde med. Siden han er i pleje, har han arbejdet hårdt på at forbedre disse adfærder og er kommet langt. Leo's hovedadfærdsproblem drejede sig om ressourceværn af mad / bakker og at blive rørt, når han ikke føler sig bekvem. Dette har derfor været en af de primære fokuspunkter under hans ophold i plejehjemmet. Med det rigtige udstyr og vejledning er dette nemt at håndtere hjemme, og der er taget skridt for at hjælpe Leo med at arbejde igennem dette ved at bygge op på hans selvtillid og en stærk forbindelse til plejeforældrene. Leo har ikke vist noget varetællingsproblem i sit plejehjem siden februar/marts 2024. Mens det er forventeligt, at Leo vil tage et skridt tilbage i sin træning, når han kommer til sit nye adoptivhjem, vil træningsstøtte blive tilbudt for at hjælpe en succesfuld adoptør med at fortsætte hans træning. Leo er en nervøs, usikker lille mand, der tager tid at tilpasse sig nye omgivelser. Han viser nogle frygtbaserede reaktioner, især mod andre hunde, når han går på tur, men med lidt opmuntring og vejledning vil han vælge at skabe plads for sig selv eller bruge den plads, der er skabt for ham, og bevæge sig væk i stedet for at reagere. Hans reaktivitet er et andet element, som plejefamilien stadig arbejder med, og dette skal overføres til hans nye hjem. Med korrekte introduktioner kan han udvikle rigtige smukke relationer med andre hunde og har i øjeblikket en gruppe hundevenner, som han går på regelmæssige ture med. Disse hunde spænder fra ældre rolige labradorer til en opspirende cockerpoo-pup. Plejefamilien har også en 9-årig bopælshund (også adopteret via Luckys), som Leo har dannet en vidunderlig forbindelse med. Når du har fået Leos tillid, er han en virkelig kærlig dreng, der elsker mavekluk og hovedstræk. Han varmer hurtigt op til nye personer, både inde og udenfor huset, hvis korrekte introduktioner gennemføres. Han er glade ved at blive alene i op til 4 timer ad gangen og har endda været i kontoret sammen med sine plejeforældre. Leo har en skældende karakter og kan være en lejlig dreng. Han elsker at spille træk med fyldte legetøj og jagte sin knirkende grøn bold. Han elsker også at udforske nye steder og gå forskellige typer ture i landskabet – marker, skove, bjerge, flodbredder osv. Han viser nogle hundetræk, da hans næse sjældent løfter sig fra jorden! Han er madmotiveret, hvilket har været meget nyttigt i hans træning indtil nu. Leo er nu muzzletrænet. Han begyndte med at frygte muzzle og ikke være glad over at sætte sin snude ind. Han er nu i en situation, hvor han er glad for at bære muzzle i en periode, og hans træning fortsætter på denne måde. Mens Leo har nogle områder, der skal arbejdes med, så blomstrer han rigtigt, når han er bekvem i sin omgivelser og de mennesker, der omgiver ham. Hvis du er villig til at investere tid og anstrengelse, vil han give dig hele sit hjerte. Hvis du tror, du har kærligheden og tålmodigheden, der kræves for at være Leos permanent, skal du udfylde vores adoptionsskema og udtrykke din interesse i ham i dag!

COULD YOU BE LEO’S MATCH? Leo was from the first litter of puppies we supported through Elisa (our shelter partner), all the way back in Spring 2020. He was rescued alongside his 3 sisters and travelled to a home in the UK in Autumn 2020. Sadly, after being in a home for over 3 years, Leo came back into our care, and has been fostered by one of our lovely volunteers since November 2023. We are hoping we can find him an adoptive home suited to his needs.The reason Leo was handed back into our care is because he developed some behavioural issues that his family did not feel they had the time to work through. Since being in foster, he has been working hard on improving these behaviours and has come on leaps and bounds.Leo’s main behavioural issue was surrounding resource guarding of food / bowls and being handled when he isn’t feeling comfortable. This has therefore been one of the main focuses during his stay in his foster home. With the right set up and guidance, this is easily managed within the home and steps have been taken to help Leo work through this by building up his confidence and a strong bond with his fosterers. Leo has not displayed any guarding issues in his foster home since February / March of this year 2024. Whilst it is expected that Leo will take a step back in his training when he arrives in his new adoptive home, training support will be provided to assist a successful adopter to continue with his training.Leo is a nervous, uncertain little man who does take time to adapt to new surroundings. He does display some fear-based reactivity, particularly towards other dogs, when out on walks although with a bit of encouragement and guidance, he will choose to create himself space, or use the space that has been created for him and move away as opposed to reacting. His reactivity is another element that his foster home are continuing to work with him on and this will need to be carried over into his new home. With the correct introductions, he can develop really lovely relationships with other dogs and currently has a group of dog friends that he goes on regular walks with. These dogs range from older docile labradors to an excitable cockerpoo puppy. His foster home also has a 9 year old resident dog (also adopted through Luckys) which Leo has formed a wonderful bond with.Once you have gained Leo’s trust, he is a really affectionate boy who loves tummy rubs and head scratches. He also warms up to new people quickly, both inside and outside the house, providing correct introductions are carried out. He is happy being left on his own for up to 4 hours at a time and has even spent time in the office with his fosterers. Leo has a cheeky character and can be playful boy. He loves playing tug with stuffed toys and chasing after his squeaky green ball. He also loves exploring new places and going for different types of walks in the countryside – fields, woods, hills, riversides etc. He displays some hound traits as his nose very rarely lifts from the ground! He is food motivated which has really helped in his training to date.Leo is now muzzle trained. He started off being afraid of the muzzle and not happy about putting his nose in. He is now in a place where he is happy to wear the muzzle for a period of time and his training is ongoing in this respect.Whilst Leo does have some areas that need to be worked on, he really does flourish when he is comfortable with his environment and the people around him. If you are willing to put in the time and effort, he will give you his whole heart. If you think you have the love and patience required to be Leo’s forever, please complete our adoption form and express your interest in him today!
