Leo was the first "Officer for a Day" ... see how he did:

Some dogs are hard to read, but Leo is an open book. His expressions are what you expect to see from people and recently his expression is one of a crestfallen boy who has been passed over numerous times. Too big. Too young. Wrong breed. Etc. And yet, Leo was at an offsite event at PetSmart where the volunteers were so proud of him. He met many people and dogs and greeted them all like old friends.

Coming from the overcrowded WV shelter, Leo has learned "sit", “down”, "stay", "drop-it" (toys, balls) commands, is eager to learn and takes treats gently. Estimated to be just about a year old and around 55 lbs., Leo loves to fetch and has learned to exchange the ball for a treat. He is also great at catching them in the air -- if you aren't terrible at throwing! -- and fetching them in the play yard.

You can visit the dogs from noon - 3 pm Saturdays and Sundays, otherwise by appointment. We always recommend submitting an application (and a copy of recent vet records for your current pets if applicable) to info@aradopt.org.
