About Leo (French Bulldog) in San Diego, CA 92111

Leo is waiting for you at Animal Rescuers Without Borders in San Diego, CA 92111. Meet Leo!Leo is an adorable frenchie bulldog, likely a MIX.. He was found wondering the streets of san diego and we contacted the owner who mentioned they do not want him returned. Sadly, this is an all too comong story. They got him as a pup early 2025 likely off marketplace or online/backyard breeding situation because their kids wanted a small dog. They have had him since he was 2 months but of course as dogs novalties wear off the kids lost interest and not a single one of the adults ever did training so it was easier to put him outside in their patio.. We found out he liked to escape thieir patio, we saw a googlemap from their location and its obvious not a safe or clean situation. He was probably bored living a life in the patio alone, day in, day out and foudn ways to get out. He ended up in SDHS in january 2026 where he was chipped and returned to the owner, thankfully at that point they had him neutered but kept him now tied out in the back patio. He would stay there rain/shine with a dog house with old bedding for 'shelter' we were surprised when the texted that video to us when we contacted them to say "hey we found your dog" to only be told we don't want him anymore. We then saw why. Probably more trouble than anything especially now that the adults divorced and going their separte way. We have had Leo for a couple of days and we can say he is a very healthy looking dog, especially for a frenchie. His nostrils and breathing look great, his skin is fantastic and as are his ears, etc. No health issues as of now which is rare for this bread. Behavior he was very good with the dogs he has met. Definitely wants to play but like all brachiocephalic breeds they can play rought and box around with their front paws and body. He plays, plays, plays. We are going to venture and say he is not potty trained but he has yet to lift the leg inside the home which is rare for most male dogs
