About Leo

If you're looking for a dog with a heart of gold, a love for his people, and a whole lot of Labrador Retriever sweetness, let us introduce you to Leo! Leo is 5 years old, shy but loving and incredibly sweet and is happiest when he's surrounded by his family. He's also a 70 lb gentle giant that's just learning what it means to trust again. Leo came to us after being surrendered by his owner along with his brother, Apollo, who is four. While the boys aren't bonded, they genuinely enjoy each other's company and find comfort in having one another around. We would absolutely love to see them find a home together, but we understand that's a big request. Our hope is that, whether together or separately, each boy finds a wonderful family with another friendly dog to share life with. Homes without another dog will not be considered. There is one important thing potential adopters need to know: both Leo and Apollo have tested positive for heartworm. They will need to undergo several months of treatment, and we're looking for families who understand and are comfortable supporting them through this process. The rescue will cover the cost of treatment, but their families will need to monitor them at home and follow strict exercise restrictions while they recover. It's a temporary commitment that will make a lifelong difference! Leo has so much love to give, and we know his next chapter can be everything he deserves. He's ready for cozy family time, companionship, affection, and all the simple things that make a dog feel at home. If you have another canine friend and room in your heart for this very special boy, Leo would love to meet you! Thank you so much for your interest in adopting a dog from A New Chance Animal Rescue (https://anewchancear.org). We are a 501c3, tax deductible organization. ANCAR is a foster-based rescue, and we adopt within a 90 mile radius of Bedford Hills, NY. You will find the adoption application here: (https://anewchancear.org/adopt/adoption-application/). All fields on the application must be completed. Please read about the adoption process (https://www.anewchancear.org/adopt/our-adoption-process/) so you'll know what to expect when you submit. Our dogs are in foster care and we do NOT have a shelter or boarding facility. AN APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED IN FULL AND APPROVED BEFORE A DOG CAN BE MET. This is a firm policy. Our busy volunteers are not able to respond to questions about the dog or dog meeting requests in the absence of an application. We know these dogs very well because they are in foster care. Please read the profiles of the dog(s) you are interested in prior to submitting an application. If there are specific requirements stated (ie: Fenced Yard or Canine Friend Required) these are included because they are vital to the happiness, health, safety and adoption success of that dog. We are only able to save as many dogs as we have foster homes (https://www.anewchancear.org/foster/faqs/) and resources for. We provide medical care including vaccinations, testing, deworming, spaying/neutering and microchipping before transporting our dogs. We provide all supplies, preventatives and any follow up vet care necessary while they are in foster care. These costs are high and the number of lives we can save is entirely dependent upon donations from people like you. We do not receive funding from private foundations or government sources. If you can find room in your heart to help us, with any amount, we are truly grateful (https://www.anewchancear.org/help/donate/). We are a 501c3 organization, so all donations are tax-deductible. It is only through the kindness of supporters like you that we are 'changing lives...one tail at a time' by providing our dogs with 'A New Chance.' (https://anewchancear.org) Thanks so much.
