About Leo

Leo is a delightful mix of an older Rottweiler and a youthful spirit. He's happiest by the side of his favorite human, but he also enjoys bounding around the yard to protect his territory. A true companion, Leo loves car rides and meets every new person with curiosity and a wagging tail. While he shares his home with two other Rottweilers—one male and one female—he'll be just as content with a dedicated owner who can spend quality time with him. Though he loves his treats, Leo requires moderation to avoid overeating. At 9.5 years old and around 90 lbs., he’s in great shape. Leo is house trained and hasn't had any accidents, and he's well-mannered when left unsupervised—only chewing on his toys. Leash manners need a little fine-tuning, but he knows basic commands and adapts quickly to routines. If you're looking to welcome a gentle, loyal soul into your home, Leo could be your perfect match.
