She was born at the shelter alongside her siblings after her mother JoJo, a large 100 lb dog, was brought in as a pregnant stray. The background here isn’t simple: Leelo’s mom came from a busted backyard breeding situation, and the puppies’ DNA reflects a mix of big, formidable breeds. Leelo’s at a prime age for consistent potty training and socialization. She’s the kind of puppy who’ll need a committed owner with experience or a willingness to use professional training.
