Welcome Levi! Levi is between 7-8 years old and weighs 12 pounds. He is house trained and crate trained. He absolutely loves toys and lounging in his dog bed. Levi likes to be close to you and will follow you around the house. Levi has had many changes in his life and will need an experienced and patient owner to allow him to settle in and bond with you. He seems to be better around women than men. Levi walks briskly on leash although he does tend to pull. He will also gets excited and will bark at other dogs he sees on his walks. Once adopted we will provide a training session with our trainer to work on addressing these things. The best fit for Levi would be in an adult-only single family home with a yard.
