Story
CAPE MAY, NJ: Light-hearted and lovely Leo has a smile that lights up a room, but this handsome fellow shines the brightest outdoors on an adventure with you!
Leo is a 2 year old collie mix and weighs 50 lbs. Poor handsome Leo found himself abandoned at an overcrowded city shelter and he was truly terrified. He was rescued from euthanasia in December 2023 and has since resided in a loving foster home, where he has made such wonderful progress. With his fosters, he is loving, intelligent, and playful. Once he knows you, Leo is extremely affectionate and obedient. Everything makes him happy but he likes playing with chews, toys, and tugs the best. Just as any young active breed would be, Leo is exuberant, sometimes even excitable, so he will need an outlet for his energy. Leo would make a great outdoor buddy for someone who is active and/or has a large, fenced in yard. And he absolutely LOVES water! If it’s big enough to jump in, Leo surely will! This fun-loving guy loves being outdoors, bursting with happiness and light-heartedly prancing around.
Because of his ruff start in life, Leonardo should really go to a home that has experience with his breed. Leo previously lived with 5 adults and 2 teenagers so he is not opposed to a lively house. Leo bonded very deeply to the children, as collie mixes are known to do. Leo is dog friendly and has been non-reactive to cats. He is neutered, house-trained, up to date on vaccines, micro chipped and ready for his forever home!
