About this Dog
Leo is a 2.5yr old pup who weighs around 85lbs. he has the coloring of a shepherd but has a personality of a hound/lab mix. he is in good health, recently vaccinated, and has a stomach of steel. he enjoys being with other dogs and loves to play. he is shy at first but warms up and makes "chewbacca" like noises when playing- its really entertaining! He would benefit from someone who has time and resources to work with him. his first year of life is unknown but has left him with behaviors that need structured practice and repetition for improvement- not ideal for a multiple person household or busy person who thinks things will work out on their own. he does great at daycare and loves exercise. a joy to go on walks or runs with! behavioral issues: separation anxiety when crated (previous owners experienced destruction when uncrated. crying and barking when he is first left but settles for a longer periods when needed), resource guarding of food (mild reaction, growls and hovers, improvements possible) territorial when on his bed or human furniture (doesn't like to be bothered when tired and unhappily obliges to get off couch when asked), territorial of yard if other dogs pass by or intimidating person enters(improvements possible with continued positive reinforcement of 'leave it'), anxiety and whining when in the car (improvements possible with short frequent rides increasing in duration), submissively pees if hit or feels overly threatened/scared (currently minimal since negative reinforcement/hitting is not present but does have a history of this issue). All in all, he has his quirks and needs to be worked with, but none of his issues are overly aggressive as they stem from fear. They are problems that can be fixed with the help of a professional trainer and owner dedication. great dog with lots of potential once a bond is established and allows for security and growth. he is great with infants and other dogs, however the attention required to see improvements most likely don't include households with other pets/priorities. he loves having another dog to play with (who is also younger and interested in playing. older dogs will likely become annoyed) please feel free to reach out if you have questions about him and want to know more. we are unable to dedicate the time and financial resources he needs and will not allow him to live in a shelter or be euthanized.

Adopt Leo and Receive Dogecoin
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. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Leo's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Leo, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Leo's Dogecoin 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 Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. 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 Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
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 Dogecoin 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!
