About Leo

Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now! Meet Leo! Leo is the thoughtful heart of the brother duo—calm, observant, and incredibly sweet. While his brother Cash brings the goofy energy, Leo’s more serious in the best way, forming deep, meaningful bonds with his people and quietly soaking up every moment by their side. He enjoys adventures just as much as he enjoys downtime, whether that’s a peaceful walk, a beach stroll, or simply lounging near his humans and keeping watch. Leo is the kind of dog who doesn’t need to be the center of attention to steal your heart; his gentle presence and soulful eyes do all the work. Leo and his brother Cash are two loving boys searching for their own forever homes through no fault of their own. They’re easy-going pups who would thrive with a playful canine companion and a family ready to give them love and consistency. They’ve done great with older children and would do best in a home with kids over six due to their size. Leo does well with other dogs, has lived successfully with older kids, and has not lived with cats, so feline compatibility is currently unknown. A secure backyard and a family who appreciates a loyal, steady companion would be a dream come true for this handsome boy. Fun fact: Leo was born on January 27, making him an Aquarius—a sign known for its loyal, independent, and thoughtful nature! They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
