My personality

My story

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

Meet Leo, a brave and affectionate bully mix who, despite enduring unimaginable neglect, still believes in the goodness of people. Leo was crated outside for hours on end, with no food, no water, and left to suffer in the scorching sun, his skin inflamed and his spirit nearly broken. But even after all he’s been through, Leo’s heart remains open, greeting everyone with a wagging tail and a hopeful grin. He’s longing to be more than just a dog in the yard – Leo deserves to be a cherished family member, included in daily life and surrounded by love. In the right home, where he can finally be part of a family who treasures him, Leo will thrive and become the loyal, loving companion he was always meant to be. If you’re ready to give Leo the life he’s been waiting for, he’s ready to fill your home with endless love and gratitude.
