Leonard

Meet Leonard- your future best friend and adventure partner. He's your perfect sidekick.<br/><br/>We think Leonard is a German Shepherd/Hound mix. But his personality is more German Shepherd. He's loyal, smart, tuned-in and ready for action. He is still a young pup of only about 6-7 months so he has lots of time to be your next BFF.<br/><br/>Leonard is an "in-your-pocket" kind of guy-wherever you go, he's right there, happily supervising. Cooking dinner? He's your sous-chef. Working at your desk? He's your foot warmer. Heading out for an adventure? Say less.<br/><br/>So far, Leonard has: Gone off-leash hiking with a pack of dog friends. Hit the beach like a seasoned pro. Visited dog-friendly stores with calm. confident vibes.<br/><br/>Every time, he's shown up as a steady, thoughtful little dude. He greets new people politely and checks in with his humans for guidance. Total " I've got this...but also, you've got me, right? energy.<br/><br/>Leonard is more of a people’s dog than a dog park socialite. He’s been friendly and appropriate with dogs and has even run with a large pack, but he’s not out here looking to make 500 random acquaintances. He’d love a few familiar dog friends and would be easy to train to ignore strangers on walks — he genuinely doesn’t care much about them. (Relatable.)<br/><br/>Energy-wise, he’s medium with an excellent off-switch. Yes, he’s a puppy. Yes, he’s playful. But he also has a really good head on his shoulders and knows how to settle at your feet when the day winds down.<br/><br/>And let’s talk about that brain!<br/><br/>Leonard is SMART. The lights are on. The gears are turning. Especially if snacks are involved. He is highly food-motivated, which makes training both effective and hilarious. Sometimes he gets a little over-enthusiastic about treats — but he’s already making great progress with self-control. The potential here? Huge.<br/><br/>He’s doing well with crate training and has even started politely barking to let you know when he needs to go out (a gentleman, honestly). Otherwise, he’s not a big barker — pretty quiet overall.<br/><br/>If you’ve been dreaming of a clever, affectionate, adventure-ready pup with classic shepherd loyalty and a can-do attitude, Leonard might just be your guy.<br/><br/>✨ Bonus: Leonard has already started building strong foundations at Heart & Hound Training Co. and comes with a free go-home lesson plus FOUR free Day school days to keep that smart little brain thriving.<br/><br/><br/>Adopt Leonard. Gain a shadow. A teammate. A best friend. 🐾<br/><br/>IF INTERESTED GO TO https://austinvetoutreach.com/adoption-application/<br/>AND COMPLETE THE APPLICATION. YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
