Leo: Not at shelter (Joan)

Leo arrived as a stray, wearing a collar, and sporting a microchip. Unfortunately, the registration is not updated and we have not been able to reach his registered owner. We will dig a little deeper and contact the facility that inserted his microchip to see if we can find out where mom might be.

Leo appears to be house trained, but he is not neutered, snd he does like to lift his leg to mark.

although it appears he's been recently groomed, his tummy fur is stained with the appearance of a belly band being used to control his marking. At 3 1/2 years old, even with a neuter which is required by Virginia code for all adoptions, it is possible he will always be a marker, and they never learn not to pee inappropriately. We feel this is an important note for a prospective adapter to know upfront. Although he is adorable, when humans reach for him, he can be nippy and skittish, so we feel a home with no children will be best as he could easily be in a skate artist and takeoff running again.The microchip information lists him as a bichon frise mix. He was recently trimmed or clipped, but we don't know if his family did it or if it was a professional groomer. We have no way of knowing where his origin might be, but we know he would like to get home!
