leo

Meet Leo!! Leo is a 1 yr old Lab mix weighing 51 lbs. He is crate trained and has learned "sit" and "stay". He is very smart. Leo was originally found in a rural area by the side of the road and then found himself in a shelter that did not have the resources to work with him, so Love-A-Stray took him in.

Leo is a very laid-back, shy guy. He really enjoys the company of other dogs. Dogs help him with his confidence but our friends at MBR have been able to get Leo to be a little more independent. He will go for walks without another dog and hang out without another dog. His best scenario is a confident dog friend. Leo loves to PLAY!

Leo is very sensitive, and doesn't like raised voices, so a home that is low-key and not loud would be best for him. He is not a full fan of the car just yet, but he is making progress! He was terrified of the car and wouldn't even walk near one, and recently he jumped in on his own!

Leo is a GREAT walker around the neighborhood, and gets along with all people, although he hasn't had much exposure to little kids, so we think no toddlers in the house for Leo as they tend to be a bit louder and unpredictable. He has gotten along well with all dogs he has met and is a bit on the submissive side. Sadly, he will let other dogs just push him around, so he needs to be with a dog that won't pick on him. ;-)
