Leeland was found as a stray and sadly ended up on the euthanasia list at an overcrowded shelter, but he was saved just in time. Now, he awaits a family that will see the wonderful dog he truly is. At around 5-6 years old and weighing 65 lbs, Leeland is a gentle giant. He gets along well with other dogs and loves to play with his furry friends. His manners are impeccable; he takes treats ever so delicately, showcasing his gentlemanly nature. Leeland is a little shy when it comes to meeting new people.

He is seeking a calm and understanding home where he can decompress and feel loved at his own pace. Leeland doesn’t require much, just a safe space and a family willing to give him the time to trust. Once he opens up, he will give you his whole heart. He’s been waiting far too long, and maybe it’s you who will finally bring him home.
