My personality

My story

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

Meet Leeland!!

This special guy was found as a stray in Houston, TX and brought to the shelter. Unfortunately, due to crowding he found himself on the euthanasia list. Luckily, he was pulled just in time, and now he wants to find himself a forever family.

We think Leeland is around 4-5 years old and is about 72lbs.

When I first met Leeland at his foster, he was so shy! He was backing away from me and hiding behind his foster. It was so sad to see. He warms up really quickly though and he's full of tail wags and puppy like playfulness. He's been staying in boarding for a couple weeks while his foster is away, and he's been so good with the staff and so brave!

He loves to play with the other dogs, takes treats so gently, and is all around good boy.

He's been waiting so long for a family to want him, we are so hopeful someone falls in love with Leeland.

Leeland is looking for someone with patience and understanding that he takes time to warm up. He is available for meet and greets in Houston.

Additional adoption info

All potential adopters will need to fill out an adoption application and talk to a member of the adoption team to ensure the animal is a good fit for the home. We will also check vet references (if applicable), landlord approval (if applicable) and speak with personal references. We do require a home visit and this can be done virtually.
