Meet Leo! He is such a sweet, cuddly, loving dog. Leo aims to please. In return, all he asks for is lots of love, and, okay, maybe some treats, too. Leo seems to love all people and dogs. He'd probably be fine with children, but he's a big guy who doesn't always recognize it, so he'd do best with older kids.

His forever family will need to keep him active. He loves his daily walks! He is quite interested in squirrels, so if he is off-leash, he would need a 6-foot fence to keep him contained, but a fence is not required for him!

Leo kennels during the workday while I work from home. He settles in really quickly and doesn't fuss much. He's still figuring out how to stay calm in the kennel if I'm gone, but leaving him with a Kong or frozen treat helps him quite a bit! We're also still working on potty training, but that's coming along really well as long as he sticks to a schedule.

Adoption fee: $495
