He has now lived with a cat and a small child and gotten along great with them. He is progressing very well with potty, crate and leash training. He is learning more commands like stay and touch, in addition to previous ones mentioned - sit, down, off and come. He can be a little skittish and apprehensive of new experiences or sounds but we’re working on that.  ##2722709##

Meet Leo — a one-year-old pug mix with a heart full of love and enough enthusiasm for life to brighten every room he enters! This sweet, loyal boy is happiest when he’s close to his people, soaking up attention, snuggles, and every little adventure the day brings.

Story
Meet Rivello, a sweet and affectionate pup who is ready to find his forever home! Rivello has the perfect balance of playful energy and laid-back charm. He loves going for walks, exploring new places, and taking in all the interesting sights and smells around him. His curious nature means every flower, tree, and trail is worth investigating, making him a wonderful companion for anyone who enjoys getting outside and exploring.When the adventure is over, Rivello is just as happy to curl up on the couch or relax in his crate for a cozy nap. He is incredibly friendly and loves meeting new people, often greeting everyone with plenty of kisses and affection. One of his favorite things in the world is a good belly rub, and he has a hilarious way of asking for more—he’ll happily flop against your legs and roll over in hopes of extra attention.Rivello is very well potty trained and settled into home life quickly after a brief adjustment period. He enjoys the company of other dogs, especially those his size or smaller, though he can be a little shy around larger dogs in busy, confined settings. He’s also learning that car rides can be fun and may need a little encouragement getting in and out, but once he’s settled, he loves watching the world go by from the window.With his gentle personality, loving heart, and perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, Rivello is sure to make a wonderful addition to a lucky family.
