Leon - Border Collie and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Grand Junction, Colorado

Hey there, I'm Leon! I'm your classic West Coast guy: easygoing, friendly, and always happy to find a sunny spot to stretch out and relax. I've got the long legs to make my way down the coast in style and the kind of personality that makes you want to slow down and enjoy the view. I'm happiest when I'm laying beside my people getting pets, but I'm also always up for seeing what the day has in store. Think ocean breeze, sunshine, and a good dog by your sidethat's pretty much my vibe.

I've got a good start on my manners, including some leash skills and a solid "sit," and I'm very willing to demonstrate my ability to lay down when treats are involved. I'm also wonderfully tolerant of grooming, which is helpful when you've got a handsome coat to maintain. I can be a little stubborn when I have my own ideas about things, but who doesn't enjoy a little West Coast independence? I'd likely do well with dogs and kids and may be okay with cats. If you're looking for a sweet, relaxed companion to enjoy the good life with, I'm ready to ride the wave right alongside you.
