Leo's Story

Hi, I'm Leo! My absolute favorite thing to do is go on a car ride with the windows down - so many smells to smell! I also like to lounge around, gnaw on my yak-cheese, go on walks and mostly just hang out with you. Every now and then, I might take a break to do my neighborhood watch duties; gotta make sure I know everything that's going on outside and make sure nothing nefarious is happening!! My foster mom says I'm a gentle giant -- I love dogs and people of all sizes (my best friends are 5 Dachshunds, a Lab/Newfoundland mix and the 4-year old human who lives next door). I'm very gentle with the little guys, but love a good game of keep-away, playing chase or wrestling with my bigger friends. I prefer to move freely around the house but I will go in my crate if needed. I have some separation anxiety -- I think having another dog to stay at home with me would help a lot, but I am learning to trust that my people will come back home every time. Although I can be a bit stubborn and strong-willed in my older age, I am a pretty quick learner with consistency, patience and positive reinforcement. If you'd like to be my sidekick, get an adoption application in quickly!
