leonidas aka leo

Meet Leonidas (aka Leo)!

Leo is a 5-month-old, 35-lb German Shepherd mix with movie-star looks and a whole lot of puppy charm. He’s a handsome fella who’s still very much a puppy, complete with playful energy, curiosity, and those classic puppy mannerisms that make you smile.

Leo is doing great learning the ropes of home life. He’s crate trained and is working hard on perfecting his house manners, thriving with a consistent routine and clear expectations. He’s food-motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding, and he’ll benefit from continued work—especially with leash manners, where he’s still learning his best walking etiquette.

Socially, Leo enjoys other dogs who are tolerant of puppy energy and active play. He recently met a cat and is still deciding whether they’re a friend or a fascinating mystery, so a slow, thoughtful introduction would be important in a cat home.

Because of his expected size, energy, and working-breed nature, Leo is not a good fit for a condo, apartment, or mobile home, and he is not a dog that should be tethered. He’s looking for an active family, ideally with German Shepherd experience, who understands the time, structure, and training a young shepherd needs to grow into a wonderful adult dog. Older, dog-savvy children would be a great match for him.

Leo is searching for a committed family who will guide him, grow with him, and love him furever. In return, he’ll offer loyalty, intelligence, and a whole lot of heart.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PET, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATION FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE HTTP://FUREVERTAILS.COM. Unfortunately, at this time we are not currently adopting outside of the state of MI. We process applications ONLY - there is no guarantee that you will get a response to an inquiry.

Many of the animals in our foster program come to us with limited or unknown histories. We make every effort to evaluate each animal’s temperament and behavior, including testing their interactions with other dogs, cats, and children (defined as individuals under the age of 18, when available). However, every animal is unique—just as every child and household environment is different.

While we strive to set both our foster animals and adoptive families up for success through thorough assessments and transparent communication, **we cannot guarantee any specific behavioral outcome**. Animals can be unpredictable by nature, and behavior may change in new environments or over time. By proceeding with adoption or foster placement, applicants acknowledge and accept this inherent risk and agree that no guarantees, either expressed or implied, are made regarding the temperament or behavior of any animal placed through our program.

FUREVER TAILS IS A NON-PROFIT, NO-KILL, FOSTER HOME BASED ANIMAL RESCUE BASED OUT OF OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, MI. OUR FOSTER ANIMALS ARE LIVING IN FOSTER HOMES AND TREATED LIKE FAMILY UNTIL THEY FIND THEIR OWN FUREVER FAMILIES. OUR ADOPTION PROECESS REQUIRES AN APPLICATION TO BE COMPLETED AND APPROVED BEFORE A MEET-N-GREET WITH THE ANIMAL CAN TAKE PLACE. ADOPTION FEES ARE NECESSARY TO HELP US COVER VETTING COSTS FOR OUR RESCUED ANIMALS.
