Leo is a young, large black Lab mix who wears his loyalty on his sleeve. At his happiest outside, Leo lives for chasing a ball across the yard and never turns down a good walk or splash in the water. He craves play and mental challenges, and could fetch for hours. Inside, Leo keeps close—following you from room to room or curling at your feet during a quiet night in. Squeaky toys and a soft sofa keep him content after a day of action. Training comes naturally to him—he’s smart, picks up commands quickly, and is fully crate trained. Leo loves his crate as a calming spot when things get busy and eats his meals there. You’ll find him house trained, gentle with children, and happy to share his food. When strangers visit, he might bark at first, but responds well to a calm routine and clear boundaries. Leo thrives with structure and an owner comfortable guiding him through dog reactivity. He’s best suited as an only pet; he doesn’t do well with cats or reactive dogs and wants a pet-free home. While he can eventually warm up to another dog after very slow, careful introductions, that’s not what he needs right now. Leo will repay patience and steady handling with affection, loyalty, and a loving presence. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
