SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMONDS... OH HI!

I'm Leo and I'm a dazzlingly good looking once-in-a-lifetime dog who somehow, through a series of highly unfortunate circumstances, ended up a starving puppy living on the streets!!!!! #tragedy

Well, you can imagine how glad I was when a nice lady stopped her warm car and took me out of the cold and to the vet doctor, where I was all fixed up and got to eat all the food I needed. #blessed

Then my savior named me "Leo" and took me to meet nice new friends at Adopt-a-Dog in Armonk, New York. Everybuddy there fell in love with me -- who could resist? I was the staff favorite, sweet and adorable to every person who met me, and VERY smart! #overachiever

But somehow the days have become months and now years -- for two years I've been waiting, longer than any other pet in this shelter. #theremustbesomemistake

I can understand some people may not think they're worthy of me. THIS IS NOT TRUE! You are! I can see into your heart and I know it's full of love! #knowallseeall

My shelter friends think I should be an only pet, but maybe we can discuss this. The thing is, when you're as amazing as me, it's hard to see why people would want another pet! Trained, healthy, loving... gosh, I wish I could adopt myself! #justtellingitlikeitis

If you already have pets or live really far from me, maybe you could reblog me? See, I spend a lot of time dreaming of my new home, and how can people know I'm looking for them if they never see my post? #inarguable

So please, call 914-273-1674 or email adoptions@adoptadog.org and tell them you want to meet Leo... and then just casually say, "What do you think of him?" if you want to know all about me! #onlygoodthings

Love forever,

Leo
