GREAT NEWS…. Yalin now named Leo is officially home!! Leo has come a long way from the streets of Istanbul, Turkey to find his happy ever after.

After a couple weeks of fostering Pam has decided that Leo is a perfect addition to her family. Leo lives with Pam, K-9 sister Georgia and a feline sister as well in beautiful Sister Bay, WI.

Pam tells me that Leo is a gentle soul, very loving, obedient, and a joy to have in her home. His personality is coming out and he is becoming more playful which is a welcome energy to her tranquil home. Pam lives on 5 acres and enjoys beautiful nature trails of Door county in her backyard. A more ideal location and home could not be found.

It is safe to say Leo has found his place in this world. He is home and much loved, leading the life he was destined to lead!

Thank you to Aysin Even Gnaegi and her family for rescuing Leo and working so hard to ensure he had a better future. Most importantly thank you to Pam for making Leo’s dreams come true!!

He is a very sweet young boy, the quiet one of his liter.  He loves to be around people and asks for affection often.  He is good with other dogs.
Yalin was rescued from Istanbul, Turkey. He was born on the streets but rescued and taken to safety at a couple months of age along with his mom and two surviving siblings.  He flew to Chicago on April 10th in hopes of finding a loving forever home where he can share his love and lead the fulfilled life he was destined to live.
Yalin is in foster care in Sister Bay, Wi and is available for adoption in Wisconsin and Illinois.  He is extremely affectionate and loving.  Very attentive to his family and always checking in with his foster mom.  She says he is very family driven and always making sure all are OK and accounted for.  He has a lovely calm temperament and amazingly good house manners.  He is fully potty trained and is very low maintenance content just to lay around most of the day.
He has the softest beautiful coat and is extremely handsome.
