About Leo

If your life needs a bit of wild joy, Leo will not disappoint. Leo is a 6-month-old Yellow Labrador Retriever who embodies puppy spirit—full of playfulness, endless energy, and a big appetite. His approach to life is simple: every day is the best day. He excels at playing fetch and enjoys running zoomies with other dogs in the yard, though he can be a bit rambunctious for little kids. Leo loves every person he meets but seems happiest when he’s the center of your attention. He's making steady progress with crate and potty training, showing only minor mishaps, and is ready to learn more tricks for treats. Leo is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed, and current on heartworm prevention. The vet has noted a slight quirk in the way he walks in his back end. X-rays didn’t show anything serious, but his adopter will need to watch for future changes. He shows no pain or slow-down now and handles life at full tilt. Ready to meet your new best friend?
