Here is what his foster mom had to say:
Levi is a big friendly boy who loves everyone. He is good with adult and seems to want to play with every child he sees. Although he has a lot of energy and doesn't know his own size, he is extremely gentle with my cat and often likes to give him a big kiss. He is quiet and fairly well behaved in the home. He never touches anything except his own things (although he does like to eat the cat's food if he gets a chance) and being tall he tends to eye what's on the counter but has never touched anything. He does like to gather up all his toys and bring them out to the living room and he will rearrange the pillows on my bed but he is not destructive and doesn't chew anything he shouldn't.
Levi knows his basic commands but is still needing to be reminded from time to time. He is not crated in my home and is totally house trained. He will just give me a stare-down when he needs to go outside. He loves other dogs and really enjoys playing in the yard. He still pulls on the leash but when I put a training collar on him he was a different dog and was easy to walk. He would probably do well on a halti until he is fully leash trained.
He is very affectionate and loves being with people of all ages although because he doesn't realize his own size, he would probably do best with older children only. He loves to cuddle and would make a wonderful companion. Although he may look menacing with those blue eyes, he is really just a big baby.
Levi is a very sweet dog. He is really tall and full of puppy energy - he wants to go, go, go. He needs someone who is willing to walk him at least a couple times a day. He would be great with another dog friend in the home and would love to have a back yard to run around in. If there are small children he would need to be supervised at all times. He does not know that he is a big dog. He is really smart and picks up on things very fast. Overall Levi is a gentle giant.
If you think Levi would be a good choice for your family, please submit an application for consideration.
