Leo

A Male Chihuahua mix Available for Adoption

   Animatch

Meet Leo Leo is a sweet, affectionate boy who was clearly very loved by his previous owner. He came into rescue needing hip surgery, and thanks to Rosie’s care, Leo has successfully had the procedure. His recovery is going well, but it is a process. He requires physiotherapy and specific exercises, so his future adopter must be willing to travel to a veterinarian in the West Island for follow-up care.Leo has a sparkle in his eye that makes it look like he’s always thinking. He loves to run around with his toys, soak up attention, and get lots of hugs. He’s a happy little soul who enjoys being close to his people.Because of his condition, Leo cannot jump, and stairs are not possible for him at the moment. He will continue to improve, but he will likely always have a slight limp. He is making good progress with house training, though he may still do a bit of marking.Leo is looking for a patient, committed home that understands his needs and is ready to support him through the rest of his recovery. In return, you’ll get a loving, playful companion with a big heart and an even bigger personality.

Puppies up to 4 months receive their first vaccines; dogs 4 months and older receive DAPP, rabies, and leptospirosis; dogs over 7 months get a heartworm/Lyme 4DX snap test. Adoption fees are $550 (standard), $450 for dogs aged 8–9, and $300 for dogs 10+.

Rosie rescues dogs only and is a proud member of CAACQ. We are volunteer-run and cannot answer phone calls about animals. The first step is to complete the application; we will contact you only if you’re a suitable match.

We do not have a public shelter; meetings occur by appointment after approval or at adoption clinics.

We do not adopt strays to families with children under 12, and all family members must be present at adoption.

Surrender

At Rosie Animal Adoption, we know surrendering a dog is hard, and the dog’s wellbeing comes first. Please be cautious: unaltered dogs are often targeted by backyard breeders and puppy mills, where conditions are inhumane.

Our volunteers receive many urgent requests, and with the rise of homeless dogs in Quebec, openings aren’t always immediate. Please be patient—we’ll help as quickly as we can and may refer you to partner groups.

Most important: never give away or sell an unaltered dog, especially “free to a good home.” Spay or neuter your pet before rehoming to protect them.
