Hi! My name is Leo and I am a 5 yr old Blue Heeler mix.  I am an "old soul" despite my relatively young age.  My foster mom describes me as shy and mellow.  Before coming to Herding Haven rescue I was on the run for several weeks.  In fact, I was so elusive that animal welfare had to bring in experienced dog trappers to finally catch.  Then I spent another month in the shelter where I sat huddled in the corner of my kennel absolutely terrified.  Now that I have had time to decompress in my foster home I am staring to show my personality a little bit. I am timid when first meeting new people but warm up quickly and love ear and chin scratches.  True to my breed, once I trust you I glue myself to your side.  I have a low- moderate energy level.  A daily walk is all I need. I am good with other, mellow dogs (puppies tend to annoy me).  Cats are a definite "no" so a home without cats is a must.  Young children are scary to me, so kid free home would be best (children over the age of 13 yr would be OK).  I am crate-trained (although I dont need a crate), house-broken, neutered and fully vaccinated.  If you are interested in meeting me, please contact kathie@herdinghaven.org
