My story

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

Insights from my Dog Day Out adventure buddies:
`Leo(nardo) was amazing on our dog day out! He’s the whole package (literally). Everyone who ran into him had a different nickname to give (a ham, a unit, chubbs…), but everyone agreed he is so SWEET. After pulling fairly hard on the leash for a few minutes, he relaxed and we had loose leash walking the whole outing!
We went on a short trail and he was great. He definitely needs shorter walks, cooler weather/shade, and plenty of water. He was also interested in other people/dogs/critters, but was NOT reactive (just looked and leaned their direction). Leo was easily redirected with treats or by just calling his name. He gave lots of hand kisses to people who pet him! He also knows sit, stay, and lay down.
Leo is a big guy with lots of love to share! And so dapper with his tie :-). You should 100% consider adopting Leo!`

FOR DOG DAY OUT HELPERS: THIS SHORT, HANDSOME MAN NEEDS SHORTER WALKS. :)

Additional adoption info

Please visit http://www.orangecountync.gov/287/Available-Pets if you have questions about available pets, adopting, or visiting our facility. You may also call 919-942-7387, option 3, to speak with a staff member at our adoption desk.
If the staff is unable to answer right away, please leave a clear message with your full name and contact number. Our staff responds to messages in the order they are received. Every effort will be made to respond to messages the same day, but it is possible that you may not receive a callback until the next business day due to the high volume of calls we often receive. See our operating hours on our website.

-Adopting-
Some animals can be taken home the same day they are adopted, but those adoptions must occur before a certain time of day and are dependent upon several factors. If you are interested in taking a pet home on the same day you adopt, please consult with the adoption desk to find out if that pet is able to go home right away. See more information on adoption and adoption fees on our website.
