My name is Leo!

Leo is a busy boy with a lot of energy. He’s friendly with most people and can be affectionate, but does not do well around children. He bonds strongly to his family and is visibly protective of his humans. He’s very intelligent and learns quickly. He is very trainable and eager to please. He is house trained and well behaved once he’s calm but can get overly excited at times and jump. He likes to be with the family and will vocalize his displeasure when separated from his human or dog family. He gets along well with other dogs and likes to play and cuddle with them when they allow it. He does not consistently do well around cats in the home. He doesn’t bark often but will “talk” occasionally when he’s happy/unhappy or needs/wants something. He needs consistency and companionship, and would do well with another friendly but assertive dog in the home. He loves to fetch and play with tug toys. He would do well with someone that has experience with large breeds and is physically active. Leo is high energy and needs plenty of exercise and socialization. Leo can easily jump over a 3 foot baby gate but can be crated when necessary. A minimum 6 foot fenced yard is required to be considered for adoption.
