Now he is looking for a new home.
Augsburg – With a heartwarming appeal, the animal shelter in Augsburg is looking for a new home for the dog Leon.
Written entirely from the point of view of the four-legged friend, the post on Instagram says at the end: “Get in touch with my animal keepers – I would love to get to know you!”

Leon is almost ten years old and, according to the animal shelter, is "on the scrap heap".
He suffers from osteoarthritis.
He finds walking "quite difficult now" and climbing stairs is almost impossible.
Leon gets medication to make his everyday life easier – "but unfortunately you can't turn back time," says Instagram.
But that doesn't mean that Leon is a sad dog.
He loves to cuddle and be outside in the fresh air.
Leon also gets along well with other dogs.
This also goes down well with the animal keepers, who, according to Post, call him a "really great dog".
A user who commented on the post can also confirm this.
She met Leon at the animal shelter's summer party - he was "an extraordinary dog" and wished him that he would find a new home very quickly.
