My name is
Lenny!

Lenny is a sweet, friendly, and playful 4.5-year-old retriever looking for his forever home. Unfortunately this is not his first time here at the shelter. He has had quite the journey since he first left us in February 2024. Though he has made huge strides while he was not with the shelter, it has been reported that he can resource guard. He’s a big, strong boy with a loving personality who enjoys spending time with both people and other dogs. He’s great on a lead, though he is a bit strong, with some guidance, he walks well and enjoys his outdoor adventures. When it comes to toys, Lenny is playful and loves fetch! He can get a little overstimulated during play but quickly settles down when given space. While he shows mild resource guarding with his squeaky toys, he will trade toys or accept treats in exchange. Lenny is friendly with new people and loves getting attention and pets. He’s good with other dogs, both male and female, and enjoys being part of a pack! He knows basic commands like “sit,” “down,” and “paw,” and he’s always happy to show off his tricks. Due to his size and strength, Lenny would do best in a home with adults or teens over 17. He’s looking for an active family or individual who can keep up with his playful and loving nature. If you’re looking for a loyal companion to join you on your adventures, Lenny is ready to meet you!
