About Lenny

He’s comfortable doing his own thing and settles in well with other dogs or people around. Once he gets to know you, Lenny happily comes over for pets and a soft lean, especially if treats are involved—peanut butter is the way to his heart. He’s equally fit for activity and quieter times with the right companion. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
