About Leo

Meet Leo! Leo is a 1-year-old, 47-pound Husky mix longing for a loving home. Found as a stray after a brief adventure through the neighborhood, he is keen to leave that chapter behind and embrace the comfort of a family. Leo is neutered, heartworm negative, up to date on his vaccinations, and mostly house trained. Currently a bit underweight at 47 pounds, his ideal weight is around 55 pounds. With a moderate energy level, Leo enjoys playful bursts typical of Huskies but happily balances them with quiet, restful moments. He has a knack for fetch and loves tossing his toys around, especially when someone chases him. Leo is both independent and cuddly, often preferring to stay close to his people—he adores being petted. Though he takes a few moments to warm up to newcomers, he soon transforms into a sweet companion. He's been wonderful with small dogs in his foster home, playful yet gentle. His temperament suggests he would likely get along with kids, though he hasn’t been around them yet, and we don’t have information regarding his compatibility with cats. Leo may feel insecure in new settings but thrives with encouragement. Ideally, he needs a patient owner to help build his confidence. He’s well-behaved on a leash, though he’ll let you know when he’s done with walks by sitting down. Leo is crate trained but could use some encouragement to feel more at ease in that space. He’s an excellent car rider and has mostly mastered potty training, requiring time to adapt to a new routine. It’s worth noting that Leo has a playful, albeit destructive, side when it comes to stuffed toys—durable ones are a must! This delightful boy seeks a secure yard for outdoor play and a family who can offer the stability and love he craves. Leo is ready for his forever home, where he can become the confident, happy dog we know he can be. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
