About Leo

Meet Leo! This handsome Husky/Australian Shepherd mix is 4 years old and has a big personality filled with love and a goofy side. Leo enjoys daily walks, playing with his favorite toys, and being a great companion—always ready to bring a toy over for some fun. After a day of adventure, he's just as happy claiming his spot on the couch. Leo gets along well with people and older children and would thrive in a home where he can be the center of attention, ideally as the only pet. He has a strong prey drive, so it’s best for him to be in a home without small animals. While he’s working on his leash manners, his future family should be prepared to help him improve those skills. Despite having some anxiety that’s managed with trazodone, Leo is in great health and needs a loving family that can offer companionship and understanding. His current owner faces difficulties and wants the best for him, recognizing that Leo would flourish in a home where he receives more dedicated time and care. If you're looking for a loyal, playful companion who loves adventures and cozying up on the couch, Leo might just be your perfect match! Click apply to start the adoption process.
