Story
Meet Leo! Looking for a big-hearted, big-pawed best friend? Leo is your guy! At 3 years old and a solid 100 pounds of pure love, this handsome hunk is ready to steal your heart (and probably your spot on the couch!). Leo is full of kisses and adores being around his people. He’s a smart boy who listens well, is completely house-trained, and doesn’t even need a crate. He’s happiest going for car rides, soaking up adventures, or simply lounging by your side. Because of his size and his enthusiasm for life, Leo would do best in a home without other pets and with older kids who can handle his playful energy. Cats? Leo says “no thank you!” If you’ve been dreaming of a loyal, lovable, goofy best friend who will shower you with affection every single day—Leo is the one! Apply today to meet this gentle giant and make him part of your family!
