Leo is a 9-year-old male pomeranian who was found on Hospital Street in Tomball. Leo was wondering the streets for three days. A nearby resident fed him and gave him water. When AAR took him in, he was lethargic, dehydrated and could barely walk. He has been checked out by a vet, had his teeth cleaned and has a clean bill of health. Leo is so sweet, loves being held and has a darling personality. He needs to stay inside most of the time. He does not like to stay out long, as he gets to hot in this weather with his long hair. Leo would look adorable with a lion hair cut. He is probably house trained, as he keeps his kennel very clean. He walks very well on a leash and actually prances. Leo is quiet, does not bark and gets along with other dogs. For more information about Leo, contact Abandoned Animal Rescue at 281-290-0121, or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
