Notes: Leon is one of our Lawrence County Ohio Humane Society Foster Pups. He came to us with nowhere to go. The Humane Society cared for him and put him into an amazing foster home.

From his foster family:
“This is Leon (aka "Leo"). He is approximately a year and a half old, weighs 60 pounds and is an exuberant energetic puppy. He loves to play with our two dogs, go for walks, car rides, but mostly hanging around the house staying close to where ever the action is. He is lovingly playful with humans, dogs and likes the cats more than they like him”

Leon is fully healed from his injury that occurred in February when he was hit by a car. He is fully vetted and has been neutered. Now he is ready to move into his forever home, where he hopes to have other doggies to play with. If you are interested in meeting Leon please contact us and we will connect you with the fosters to schedule a meet and greet.

A special thank you to Leons Foster parents, who have been committed to him from day one. We could not do the work we do without people like you.

Leon is curious about everything but not adventuresome, can be mildly timid with strangers and will briefly bark at expected noises but is generally a quiet, very observant dog.

He is lovingly playful with humans, dogs and likes the cats more than they like him. He would be okay with older children, but younger, smaller children would be at risk of being knocked down when he plays. He is STRONG. Leo is not crate trained.

Similar to our other two dogs, he uses disposable pee pads inside or goes when supervised outside. It should be an easy transition to fenced in yard with maybe a doggy door.

Leo walks satisfactorily on a leash and likes to stay close to his family/pack. He knows 'sit' and 'down' and 'wait' and is working on other commands."

Please contact us with any questions or to set up a time to meet sweet Leon. A big thank you to all who supported his journey and helped us get here!
