I am fostering Leonard and what a pleasure it is.I call him my little Zipper.He zips around and has his nose in everything.He loves the snow and he and his buddy Sasha are full of it when they come in.No matter how many times I clean the kitchen and put beds back in the crates,he is there to take them out.He drags his blankets everywhere.He loves to put them in a bunch,get on top and lay there and teethe on the blanket.He then eventually will fall asleep.
He started out a little fearful of people but with the exposure he has gotten,he is now the welcomer to everyone.He is such a love-bug and I really love this little guy
ORIGINAL BIO:
Four beautiful puppies dumped on a back road by careless humans. Just another sad story heard all too often. Luckily, the ending is often happy; a big-hearted person drives by, sees the box of puppies, and brings them to a shelter, where they can wait for their forever homes to adopt them.
This is the case for Leonard and his three siblings. Just born in July, someone thought it was a good idea to drop them off on a back road to fend for themselves. Too often, these people think this is the “best thing”, that someone will pick them up or they will survive on their own. This is just not the case. They are exposed to the weather, wild animals, and they just do not know how to take care of themselves. Leonard and his siblings are Basset Hound mixes, but one thing is for sure: the level of cuteness is unbelievable!
Sister Penny and brothers Leonard and Shelton all love hanging out together when they are put out to play-although lucky brother Rahj is adopted and in his forever home. Leonard is a little more independent and energetic. His motto is “Let’s PLAY” when he’s let out of his kennel. The one thing that everyone says about him is that he is a lover and you can be sure that when someone stops to give him a cuddle, hug or sweet talk, he is almost motionless, taking in all that you have to offer; he will stay until you move away—he is a true companion.
Leonard is a bundle of fun. With his gorgeous coloring and puppy dog eyes, he is sure to steal away the hearts of anyone who meets her. He’s a healthy, happy puppy so really all there is to say about Leonard is that he enjoys playing, playing, and more playing. He loves tumbling around with his brothers and playing with their toys. All that is missing is a family to call her own. Take a look at Leonard, and consider welcoming him into your home, and giving him the warm, loving home he deserves. He is coming to CT on December 28th.

ABOUT OUR RESCUE
These dogs deserve all of our attention, and in Rescue Dog Village, we are committed to our adopters and our dogs equally. We offer full disclosure and hope to make the best matches possible. Please know our adoption donations never cover our expenses. We rely on the generosity of our adopters and supporters to help us help the dogs.
Our rescue is ONLY in the business of offering FULL DISCLOSURE to adopters, and expects and hopes to engage your questions and concerns fully. We owe it to the dogs we rescue and all the wonderful families/adopters who might consider welcoming our charges into their hearts and home. Our dogs are waiting for that ideal forever home where they will be cherihed as deserving family members. It's sad these second chances are even necessary for these dogs, but we are committed to them and will devote the time and energy to their re-homing, and not just MOVE them to save more dogs. We diligently and responsibly seek good matches, as we don't want to re-home the dog again. These animals have already endured more than they should have, and through no fault of their own. It behooves us to be honest and forthright, and we appreciate the same in return from applicants. It's that winning combination of reciprocal trust and respect that allows for successful placements to be made. Happy adopters translate to happy dogs, and that's our goal!
Our rescue volunteers will be more than honored to be in touch with you directly and promptly, after receiving your application and conducting a mandatory a veterinarian check. If you have never owned a dog before, please submit your application regardless, and we will be in touch with you as soon as possible. TAKE NOTE YOU SHOULD CHECK YOUR SPAM AS SOME RESPONSES FROM US WIND UP THERE WE'VE DISCOVERED. Also, take care to contact your veterinarian to let them know a member of rescue will be inquiring about your pet history!
