**Hi... I'm Lionel **

I know my name sounds a little bold... like I should be roaring or leading the pack. But truthfully, I'm more of a quiet, thoughtful guy who's still figuring things out.

I'm a shy young dog who likes to take my time getting comfortable. I might hang back at first, just watching and making sure everything feels safe. But once I trust you, I start to show my softer side - the one that enjoys gentle attention, staying close, and being part of a calm, steady routine.

I've got a "little lion" heart - not loud or fierce, just loyal, sensitive, and looking for someone to feel safe with. With patience, kindness, and a little encouragement, I'll keep growing more confident and let my personality shine.

At this time, Lionel is unsure of other dogs. He may be able to coexist with a calm, well-balanced canine companion whose role is to provide quiet guidance rather than engage in play. Introductions should be slow and intentional.

I'm looking for a home that understands
