About Leo— The Ultimate Gentle

Meet Leo, the ultimate gentle goofball! This sweet and loyal German Shepherd embodies about 80% lazy couch potato and 20% playful toddler. At 7 years old and tipping the scales at 75 lbs, he combines great energy with a gentle heart and a wonderfully silly personality. Leo thrives as your devoted shadow and is eager to become a beloved member of your family. He's friendly with other dogs and enjoys playtime at doggy daycare. Completely house-trained, Leo rides calmly in the car and relaxes comfortably when left alone in his space. He walks beautifully on a leash, and gentle treats work wonders in redirecting his attention. Leo knows his basic commands, takes treats delicately, and behaves well during grooming sessions. His inquisitive nature makes him eager to learn, and while he loves squeaky toys and zoomies, he also enjoys long naps close to his humans. Leo is looking for a shepherd-savvy family who can give him a bit of time to adapt to a new routine filled with cuddles and bedtime kisses. Start your journey together with Leo today!
