About Leo

Leo is an 8-year-old mixed breed who’s both sweet and a bit anxious. He shows affection to those he feels comfortable with, often seeking out quiet corners to lounge or going for long walks where he can explore every scent. Leo prefers a calm home environment to help him adjust at his own pace. While he’s dog selective, he hasn’t been introduced to cats or children, so he’ll need gentle, gradual introductions to new friends. A low-energy home with a patient adopter who can provide the love he deserves would be ideal for him. Ready to give Leo a home where he can thrive? Apply today!
