About Levi

Levi has come a long way after a rough start. When he first arrived, Levi was all energy and no manners, a result of little structure in his early life and being shuffled between homes. After living with a trainer, he learned better habits and finally found comfort with a dedicated owner, but due to job loss, he's back in search of stability. Levi is now a healthy, neutered, and vaccinated adult—around 4 to 5 years old and a solid 80 pounds. He's strong, loves to run, and really thrives with regular exercise and clear boundaries. He’s terrific with children, but his size and enthusiasm mean the kids need to be dog-savvy and comfortable around big, energetic dogs. Levi gets along well with other dogs and is house trained. He’s hoping his next home understands the importance of structure and play. They’ll get a loyal, loving companion ready to settle into a routine. Your new best friend is just one click away.
