Leader - Adopted


Name: Leader
Age: 11 years
Sex: Male (altered)
Breed: Chihuahua/Fox Terrier Mix
Location: Southeastern Pennsylvania

Vet Info:  Leader is up to date on all shots.  He is neutered.  In 2010, the vet confirmed blindness but there are no details on the cause.  He has recently had a dental, and had a negative HW test done in 2010.  There are no knownhealth issues at this time for Leader.

Owner Info:  Leader is a 15 pound male dog whose owner has had him since he was 8 weeks of age.  The owner is unable to keep him any longer due to a job relocation, so he has been boarding at a kennel since before Thanksgiving 2012.  Leader is a little shy when first meeting someone and has snapped at new kennel workers but has never bitten anyone.  Once he gets to know someone (and it doesn't take long), he then enjoys being petted. He doesn't like to be picked up but will jump into your arms once he gets to know you.  He is housetrained and leashtrained and knows basic commands.  He does not chew things he shouldn't.  He is good with adults (prefers women) but he is not good with children under the age of ten.  He is also not good with other pets (cats or dogs).  He is healthy and completely blind, due to a genetic eye disease.  His eyes are cloudy and he does not need any medication for them.  The staff at the kennel love him and say he is a great boy!
