My story

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

Let's Be Friends! My name is Leo, and I'm a handsome young dog looking for a home where I can love and be loved. I came to the shelter as a local stray, and I'm so ready to find a family of my very own. Because at this point in my life, that is exactly what I deserve! I have a soft gray coat complete with white markings and ears that seem to go on for days! I am a sweet dog who is just under two years old and weigh 44 pounds. But the thing of it is, I still have quite a bit of weight to gain to get me where I need to be. But that's just something we can work on together! I am a very gentle dog who sits really nice for my treats and takes them very softly from your hand. And because I am so treat motivated, any training you may want to do should go smoothly. I like playing with squeaky toys, enjoy a good walk and playtime with friends. I love being around people and can be quite affectionate once I get to know you. So if you have room in your heart and home for a sweet young dog like me, let's meet and see if we can make this work!
