Today I’m going to give the blog spotlight to my buddy Leo. He and his mom, Angelica, are the other half of The Smiling Frog Pets, the Etsy business where my mom sells her dog clothes and pet toys. Most recently the shop has featured a new denim squeaky ball with a very important message on it: Love. Adopt. I’ll let Leo explain why this message is so important to him and his mom. 
First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Leonardo Miguel Ross, otherwise known as Leo or Leelee and I would like to tell you my story. I am originally from Louisiana and my mom found me on Petfinder. I was rescued by Chi.P.P. (Chihuahua & Pound Puppy) Rescue of Louisiana. My foster mom scooped me up just as I was brought in to a kill shelter.
My foster mom, Rocky is a hero in my eyes. She takes in tons of dogs; they usually have 50 at a time! I had many medical issues, still do, but they took care of me. My mom was shocked at how much the rescue owed in medical bills. Luckily they have a very caring vet.
I was brought to Maine along with around 20 other dogs in a van. The Golden Retriever Rescue Lifeline helps to bring the pups from Chi.P.P. to Maine. I got brought along even though I’m not a Golden. It was a long trip but I was so happy to see my new mom I peed all over her. She didn’t care; she started crying she was so happy to see me. When our eyes met we knew we had met before. So my life began as a Mainer and the most spoiled and loved little dog in the world.
My mom made the Love Adopt squeaky ball toys to help me raise money for the Chi.P.P. rescue. They are upcycyled from old denim jeans and have a fun squeaker. 100% of the profit goes to Chi.P.P. Help me to help them rescue more sweet pups like me. Please rescue; you’ll be glad you did! 
Happy tail wags!
