About Lenny

Lenny is a one-year-old Boxer/Lab mix, weighing in at 55 lbs with a medium, athletic build and plenty of personality. He’s been waiting for a forever home since December, after first coming in as a stray. These days, he’s working through the Manci Cell program and already has the basics down—sit, down, stay, plus he’s great on a leash. Lenny is smart but mischievous; he knows his commands but sometimes chooses not to listen, especially when he’s feeling playful. He genuinely enjoys being around people and gets along well with other dogs. Cats don’t seem to bother him either. Lenny is housebroken and crate trained, and lives for attention and mental challenges. He’d thrive with an adopter willing to reinforce his training and keep him active. Walks and hikes will make him happiest. Lenny has been waiting a long time for a family, and he’d love to trade shelter life for a home that matches his energy and affection. Ready to fall in love?
