My story

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

Hi, I’m Leo!

I’m a 10-year-old, 60-pound Retriever/Black Lab mix, and I like to think of myself as the perfect blend of gentle, playful, and chill. I’ve been through some things in my early life—probably some neglect—and that’s made me extra grateful for kindness, good food, and the comfort of a loving home.

These days, I’m all about the good life: two long walks a day (at least 30–40 minutes each, please!), playing fetch, lounging in the backyard on sunny days, and curling up on my dog bed in my human’s bedroom at night. I’m leash trained, house trained, and a gentleman in the car.

I’m friendly with dogs and children, though I do best with calmer energy—very young kids or bouncy young dogs can be a bit much for me. I’ve lived with a cat before, but that was a long time ago and I will probably need some retraining. If I see a cat outside, I might try to chase it.

I’m food motivated, quiet, and gentle, and I love being around people in a calm, steady environment. I don’t like to be alone for long stretches, so I’m hoping for a home where my people are around most of the time and enjoy getting outside with me.

If you’re looking for a loyal walking buddy, sunbathing partner, and best friend, I’m your guy!

Go meet their pets

We are a foster-based, volunteer-driven rescue. All SDRO dogs available for adoption are listed on our website. The listing includes information to help you decide if one of our dogs is right for your household. If you are interested in adopting a dog, please complete an online application. If your home suits the dog's needs, we'll call you to discuss your application and ask any follow-up questions. Our experienced adoption coordinator will discuss the dog’s needs with you to help determine if your home is the right fit. Since we do not operate a shelter and all our dogs are in foster care, a meet-and-greet will be your first opportunity to meet the dog face-to-face.
