About this Dog
Leo was going to be surrendered to a shelter by his prior owner for not getting along with their other dogs. We agreed to home him instead back in the winter. Unfortunately, we were not aware his breed was a high intensity working dog as a Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog. He is very affectionate and eager to please, but his herding drive can be a challenge with our two small children. He does amazing overnight sleeping at the foot of our bed, and he loves to sit by you on the couch in the afternoon or evening when the house is quiet, He is fully house and crate trained and also does great in the car or park on a leash. With 2 small kids, work, and other commitments, we cannot keep up the level of activity and interest he needs. He would thrive on a farm or an active single dog home with older kids who can devote time to activities for him daily. He does well with our cats, he will chase occasionally but also greet, play, and snuggle with them and is very obedient when called if he does chase.

Adopt Leo and Receive Leo's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Leo's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.

How will Leo receive the contribution?
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Leo, thank you for providing a home and a loving family! Please begin the process of claiming Leo's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Leo was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Leo’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
What happens to unclaimed funds?
We want the Leo’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Leo’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
