My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Leo, a charismatic and energetic companion who is ready to light up your life! This intelligent pup thrives on stimulation and enjoys a good mental challenge, especially when it comes to puzzle toys and treat-stuffed Kongs. He's always up for an adventure, making him the perfect running partner or companion for outdoor activities.

Leo's charming personality shines through in his unique ways of seeking affection. He'll nudge and flip to ask for belly rubs, and he might even give you a friendly paw or rest one on your shoulder to let you know he's craving some scratches. His one floppy ear perfectly complements his goofy and endearing nature.

He has also demonstrated a desire to learn and respond well to training. With a patient and dedicated owner, he has the potential to become an even more well-rounded companion. He would thrive in a home where he can be the center of attention, and where his intelligent mind can be engaged with interactive toys and mental challenges.

Leo's love for outdoor adventures is matched only by his desire to be close to you, whether it's cuddling on the couch or going on long walks. He's a loyal companion who's always eager to join in on the fun, making him a wonderful addition to an active and loving family.

If you're ready to embark on new adventures and share your life with a smart, playful, and affectionate friend, Leo could be the perfect match for you. Embrace this intelligent pup, and get ready for a lifetime of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments!
