Lenny

The rescue’s notes on Lenny

Hey everyone....Lenny here. My owner got sick and could no longer take care of me. I was taken to a loud and kind of scary place but thanks to the awesome people there I was taken care of and they helpled me make my way to rescue!Lenny is approximately 2.5 years old. He tested very well with other dogs at the shelter. He is all caught up on his routine vetting now and will be neutered and microchipped very soon. He is a little timid but that tail wags non-stop and he warms up pretty quickly. 9/30 UPDATE: Lenny was neutered, microchipped and had a dental today and did great!!! 1/26/26 UPDATE from Lenny's Foster Mom: Lenny has been one of the easiest fosters we have ever had. Because we think he was not socialized at all, it takes him some time to warm up and gain confidence. He is truly a dog that you need to watch and listen to what he is ready for. The more I have listened to his cues and given him what he has needed, the more he has progressed. He has gone from a very unsure and cautious guy on walks, to someone who looks forward to them every day. Things that stopped him in his tracks 3 months ago, don't phase him much now. He does still take time to warm up to new people but with time and patient exposture, he has warmed up to everyone that comes to our house. We could not ask for a better dog in the kennel as well. We do kennel him when leaving the house, he likes his kennel and it makes him feel safe. He has slowly learned some basic obedience like Sit+Wait for food, and he is just now learning Down. He does well with our resident boxer but is still shy about playing - you can tell he wants to, he just doesn't know how. He has had a couple of day care stays and has done well around a large group. He warms up to the ladies (human & fur) the fastest & is the best cuddler! Lenny is: Good With Dogs, Good With Cats, Good in Kennel, Walks Well on Leash
