LEO - Golden Retriever Dog for Adoption in Jacksonville, Florida

Handsome, affectionate, funny, sensitive, loving, fun loving and well manned-these are just some of the words we use to describe this very sweet 5 year old male Golden Retriever. Leo has been with his Mom since he was 8 weeks old but she has recently relocated and they are now living with a family member with another unneutered male dog who is not happy with Leo being there. In addition, his Mom has a new job and is going to school also so there is limited time for Leo which is breaking her heart. She feels he deserves more family time and we agree!

This handsome boy is seeking a foster or foster to adopt home where someone is home most of the day-a retired couple or single person or someone who works from home would be the perfect home for this gentle soul. Leo has lived with a female dog for part of his life and his mom says he's good with children but we are not sure of Cats since he has only had exposure to them on walks but he does not appear to want to chase them. Because of his past experience, it is best that NO MALE DOGS are in the household.

Leo likes to chase tennis balls but is not too good about bringing them back! He enjoys being outside and going for daily walks. He is housetrained and crate trained but is such a good boy that he enjoys free run of the home most of the time. Leo knows sit, stay, paw, go to the crate, and go to the room. He minds and listens very well. His Mom say " he is very curious, very affectionate and has lots of energy."

Leo is neutered, current on all vaccinations, microchipped, bathed, wormed and anxiously awaiting his new home. In addition to someone home much of the day and no male dogs, Leo will need someone who has a fenced yard, is able to walk him daily, lots of love to give and lives in NE Florida.
