About Leo

Leo is a bold, vibrant 2-year-old with a Boxer and French Bulldog mix in his genes and a penchant for play that never seems to run out. He grew up in an apartment but clearly craves a home with room to zoom, where someone active can help him burn off all his extra energy. If you’re looking for a dog that meets everyone with enthusiasm, Leo fits the bill—he’s social, outgoing, and really doesn’t know a stranger. He’s always been the only pet and will need to remain an only animal, especially since he has a strong prey drive and shouldn’t live with cats. He thrives on attention and play, so he’ll do best with someone who can give him lots of exercise, company, and structure. Training is mostly a blank slate for Leo: he knows how to sit, but hasn’t learned leash manners, house training, or crate behavior yet. He needs an adopter who’s ready to teach him the basics and help him become a polished companion. If you’re ready for an affectionate, happy, and completely untamed goofball, Leo is eager to join your adventures. Leo was born August 2, making him a sun-soaked Leo—expect extra charm and confidence. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
