Leon - Cyprus

This is Leon, he is around 2-3 years old. He is a brand new addition we took over from an overcrowded shelter.

He is very shy, lacks a lot of confidence and he is terrified of humans!

We have started to work with him and let him socialise with other dogs, and he seems to be very friendly with all of them. Although it's very likely that he has never had the chance to play with other dogs before.

Leon is slowly slowly gaining trust, and we are sure he will blossom to be a confident dog, especially along with an experienced owner who can provide him with structure and routine.

All photos with the ears down and miserably looking is of Leon when at the shelter. So sad to see such beautiful animals be so broken and scared. The one he's standing is after a week with us at kennels

Leon is with a German Shepherd rescue out in Cyprus where large breeds are generally not treated very well and often spend their lives on chains. The rescue will raise the travel funds to bring him to the UK but there will be the normal adoption fee which will go back to their rescue so that they can help more dogs like him.

He comes with an adoption package which means he will be neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.

Dogs like Leon really have very little chance of a good life out in Cyprus. Can you offer this lovely boy a chance?

If you require further details, please email GSD Rescue Cyprus

Leon at the pound

Leon looks so unhappy at the dog pound

Heartbreaking that humans have done this to him

Out of the pound and my what a difference. Such a handsome boy too
