Leonard Australian Shepherd Elk River, MN

Meet Leonard (previously known as Lennan), the spirited 3 year old Australian Shepherd, seeking a new leash on life. Weighing a sturdy 52 pounds, Leonard is already displaying the boundless energy characteristic of his breed.

This charismatic canine is as playful as they come, with a penchant for chasing balls, indulging in tasty treats, and engaging in exhilarating games of fetch and Frisbee. Leonard's ideal family mirrors his dynamic personality - super active, adventurous, and ready for fun-filled escapades.

Scoring a solid 9 out of 10 on the energy scale, Leonard thrives in an environment with space to explore, making a fenced yard a must, with invisible fencing being a suitable option. Despite his robust energy levels, Leonard does well with children and is more than happy to join in their adventures.

Though Leonard's previous encounter with family cats necessitated his return to rescue, he's reliably housebroken and comfortable in a crate. While he's still refining his manners, particularly in regard to counter surfing and barking, Leonard walks well on a leash.
If you're seeking a loyal and lively companion to enrich your life, Leonard could be the perfect match. Despite his aversion to cats, Leonard's loving nature and zest for life promise endless joy and companionship for the right family. Are you ready to welcome Leonard into your heart and home?
