They thrive in active homes where they can burn off energy, engage with their people, and enjoy both playtime and affection.<br/><br/>Leon’s Story & Personality:<br/>Leon is a fun-loving, energetic little guy with a personality that will keep you smiling all day long. When he gets excited (which is often!), his whole body wiggles in the cutest way—it’s impossible not to fall in love.<br/><br/>He can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but give Leon a little time and his true personality comes bursting out—playful, affectionate, and full of life. Once he’s comfortable, he becomes a total lovebug who enjoys climbing into your lap, handing out kisses, and soaking up attention.<br/><br/>Leon has a high energy level and will need plenty of daily exercise to keep him happy and balanced. He loves playing, exploring, and is also great at entertaining himself when needed. A fenced yard is important for him so he has a safe space to run and burn off his energy.<br/><br/>He does great with other dogs and would likely enjoy having a canine companion to play with. While he hasn’t been tested with cats, he may try to chase or play with them. He loves people of all kinds, but due to his energy level, he would do best in a home with older children who can match his enthusiasm.<br/><br/>Leon is almost housebroken and is doing very well with his training. He does not require a crate unless used as a tool to help finish his potty training. He walks well on a leash and enjoys getting out and about.<br/><br/>His ideal home would be with someone who is home most of the time and can give him the attention, exercise, and companionship he craves. Leon truly thrives when he’s with his people—whether that’s playing, cuddling, or just being nearby.<br/><br/>Leon’s Ideal Home:<br/><br/>Active household ready for a high-energy dog<br/>Fenced yard for safe play and exercise<br/>Someone home most of the day<br/>Older children or an adult household<br/>Another playful dog is a plus<br/>Someone patient to let him warm up and shine<br/><br/>Ready to Welcome This Wiggly Boy into Your Life?<br/>Leon is equal parts playful energy and snuggly affection. If you’re looking for a fun, loving companion who will keep life exciting and full of cuddles, Leon is ready to bring his wiggles and kisses straight into your heart.<br/><br/>Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description.
