Update: Leroy has made great progress with his understanding foster carer and is now enjoying walks. He is a shy dog who doesn’t know how to initiate affection with people though he is happy to receive affection and he is happily taking treats from his foster carer.
Leroy still looks for protection and would prefer a home with a doggy companion. He appears to feel safer with a dog of his size or bigger. He needs a calm household with an understanding owner. He has no issues with cats. He is a quiet boy and toilet-trained.

Happily Leroy has finally got his chance to be in a foster home in Hartlepool after many years in a shelter. Nirina Dog Adoptions would like to find him a quiet home where he can enjoy the lovely life he deserves.
Leroy is about 10 years old. He’s a nervous boy having been in a loud kennel environment, but he is making great steps in confidence in his foster home. He is a quiet dog normally, but he has learned to give a happy bark and his tail no longer hides between his legs and is now wagging.
Leroy presents as a shy boy around new people and situations but he does come out of his shell. He is learning to trust people again now he has one-on-one quality time with his foster carer.
Leroy gets on well with other dogs and cats and is a gentle boy. He would need a calm and patient owner to allow him to progress at his own pace. He enjoys his days snoozing in the garden in the sun.
Leroy is neutered and house-trained. His hearing is not as good as it was and he does get startled if he doesn’t know you’re approaching.
