My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Leo, the lovable Husky with a heart as big as his paws! Leo is a sweet and affectionate soul who’s ready to bring joy and laughter to his forever home. He’s a master of the full-body hug—yes, that means arms on shoulders, head on chest, full-on, heartwarming hugs! His heterochromia, with those stunningly different colored eyes, is just the icing on the cake.

Leo starts his day with pack cuddles in bed with his foster family. After a brisk outdoor trip for business, it’s breakfast time followed by playful antics that are sure to keep you entertained. He loves to lounge next to his foster mom while she works, providing the perfect company with his gentle presence. He’s got a keen sense for pee breaks and playtime in the yard, ensuring he gets his daily dose of exercise and fun. The highlight of Leo’s day is the full pack walk at 4:30 PM. He enjoys the camaraderie and the exercise, followed by a delicious dinner. The rest of the evening is spent in cozy cuddles and fun-filled play sessions with his foster siblings.

Leo is a social butterfly who loves everyone he meets. His curiosity knows no bounds—especially when it comes to cats. Though he’s not aggressive, he does have a tendency to hyperfixate on them, so a cat-free home might be best. He’s house-trained (though his cues are subtle), crate-trained, and is getting the hang of leash training—he’s a quick learner, especially when treats are involved!

Leo’s endearing habit of plopping down wherever his people are and staring up at them lovingly is guaranteed to melt your heart. He’s also a fan of Benebones and any toy that can keep him entertained. Leo would thrive in a home with or without other dogs. He’s adaptable and would be just as happy being the center of attention in a single-pet household. His love for outdoor adventures and playtime makes him a perfect match for an active family who can keep up with his playful spirit.

If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and joyful companion, Leo is the dog for you. He’s ready to bring his boundless love and sweet personality to a forever home that can offer him the same in return. Adopt Leo and experience the full-body hug of happiness!
