ADOPT A DOG – SAVE A LIFE
Love Leo Rescue rescues dogs from unfortunate situations and finds them forever homes. We get them medical care if needed, make sure they get spayed and neutered and are vaccinated, we help to socialize them – and when they are ready – we match them with the perfect forever home.
It is estimated that approximately 4,000,000 animals end up in shelters around the United States each year. Only about half of these animals end up being adopting. When you adopt a rescue animal you are truly saving a life. A rescue dog will reward you with years of love, loyalty and gratitude.
Please view the dogs we have who are patiently waiting for forever homes. Remember: ADOPT DON’T SHOP!
Male
Meet Michael McDougal the poodle. We rescued him from the shelter after he was put on the euthanasia list because he was not feeling well. Poor guy had parasites and a nasty URI. He’s feeling great now and ready for a forever home. He does well with other dogs of all sizes, cats and kids. He’s about 3 years old and 22 lbs.
He is neutered, chipped and up to date on shots.
Please email: loveleorescue@gmail.com to add him to your family.

Tootsie Roll is an eight week old, Chihuahua mix puppy who is waiting for her forever home. She is well socialized and outgoing. She would do well in a home with another dog and is cat friendly as well. We expect she’ll be about 10 lbs at maturity.

Meet Curtis. This 6 month old lab/shepherd mix joined our rescue after his former owners moved and did not make appropriate plans to take him along. When we found out about him – it was moving day for them and he was shelter bound. He’s a sweet, goofy puppy who loves to play and does well with other dogs.
He would benefit from puppy classes and basic obedience.
He is neutered, chipped and up to date on shots. He is currently 57 lbs and we think he will be around 75 lbs or so at maturity.

Female
Meet Misa. She is a mature female lab/pit mix who spent over a month at the very busy Riverside shelter. We think she is about 8 years old. She came into the shelter in rough shape, emaciated, with major hair loss and some old wounds. It is clear her previous life was a tough one. When we told the staff there we wanted to rescue her they were over the moon. During her time there she had won over the hearts of volunteers and staff and they all really wanted to see her make it out of the shelter to safety.
She was kenneled with other dogs at the shelter but now that she is feeling better she has shown some signs that she would do best as an only dog. She loves going for walks and laying on her bed in the sun. She is so grateful for all the love and affection she is receiving out of the shelter. She would be an easy dog to please, a soft scratch behind her ears, a bully stick every once in a while and a stroll around the block. She would be forever grateful to have the life that eluded her during her first 8 years.

Female
Meet Lumi.
This hazel eyed beauty had a scary start to life. She found herself living with a not so great crowd on skid row. One day she became very ill, it appeared she had ingested something toxic. We were notified and had her rushed to our vet. It appears she may have accidentally consumed a narcotic substance. She was treated and released a few days later and is now doing much better.
Shes incredibly sweet and calm and has a gentle disposition. She is good with all dogs and even is BFFs with a cat.
Female
Meet Flora. She was turned into the shelter after she was attacked by two German Shepherds. She was badly injured but – instead of getting her proper medical care – her owners took her to the shelter. She is a 10 month old pitbull mix. We expect she will be around 55 lbs at maturity. She is smart, gentle and eager to please. She does well with other dogs and has a good amount of puppy energy so she will need an active family to keep her well exercised.

Male
Meet Larry. He has a heartbreaking past. His owners moved out and left him behind. With nowhere to go – he found a safe place across the street in the parking lot of a landscaping company. People would come by to feed him but he would just lay there – sad and depressed – totally hopeless. Then someone decided to do something about his heartbreaking situation and shared on Instagram. We saw his photo and how he was living and knew we wanted to help.
He was out of the parking lot that night and spent the evening in a foster home and got a much needed batch and a good meal.
Before we started the search for his new home we wanted to make sure he was healthy so we did a senior blood panel, X-rays and and ultrasound and got him a dental. It turns out Larry has Cushings disease which is managed through medications.
After everything Larry has been through he really deserves a loving home to call his own. He does not seem too found of other dogs so he would be fine as an only dog. He has some trouble with stairs so a single story home with a yard would be ideal for him.

Male
Meet Wilbur. He came into the shelter in rough shape, he was dirty, terrified and had a lot of medical issues. He is a 40 lb mini pit/bulldog and is sweet as can be. He loves other dogs and is mellow and sweet. This sweet guy came to us with some major medical issues. His hip sockets had been formed incorrectly and over time, pieces of the bone chipped off. He had a double FHO surgery to remove those fragments. There was some nerve damage as a result but after therapy and acupuncture he is doing much better. However Wilbur will not be a hiker or a runner. A stroll around the block is about what he can do.
He is dog friendly and very sweet.

Meet Duncan. He is a 2 year old poodle mix with hazel eyes. He was overlooked at the shelter because he was too shy. The shelter asked us if we could help and of course we said yes. After he was shaved and neutered and feeling better his true colors came out. Hes a very sweet, loving dog who does well with other dogs and loves kids too. He is fully house trained and would flourish in a home where someone is there during the day. He loves being by his persons side.
We think he is about 2 years old and roughly 12 lbs.
