I've said this before and I'll say it again... we have an amazing group of foster parents in the Northwest. We do everything we can as a team for the dogs and at that at times mean moving the dog. We've come to find out that Leo really struggles with long stints of being away from a human or other dogs. My husband and I work full time and when Leo has been confined he gets very upset and as you can see on his nose, he tries to get out of where ever he is. He also has a lot to say about the situation which that causes him even more distress.
Given our schedules it's hard to know what is going on for little Leo. So the decision was made to move him to a foster home where he has people and dogs around a good amount of time. We are lucky to have such flexible foster parents - again thank you!
By moving Leo we can further assess what he needs in his forever home. And we know he will get the continued care and attention to help him relax and open up. What will be even more fun for Leo is his new foster parents have a very large, full fenced back yard for him to run and play in. He will also have two other ratties roughly his age, that love to run and play as much as Leo does. This will no doubt help to discharge some of his worry and work on building his confidence.

| As you can see Leo is drop dead gorgeous. Do to a pervious skin infection, he doesn't have a whole lot of fur right now. With time and TLC and there's no doubt his coat will be amazing. |
