Male Dog, Border Collie
Border Collie / Mixed (Short Coat)
Description:
Meet Leo! Leo is a big-hearted, affectionate companion who’s ready to find his forever family. He absolutely loves cuddling with his foster parents and thinks he’s a lap dog, despite his impressive size! Leo thrives on daily walks and will “talk” to his foster family until it’s time to go out and explore. Car rides are another favorite—he’s happiest when he’s along for the journey and never wants to get out! Leo enjoys meeting new dogs and people, though he can be a bit guarded at first. He’s especially excited when children are running and playing, but because he doesn’t always realize his own strength, he’d do best in a home with older children. Leo responds well to commands like sit, down, stay, and sometimes shake, and his recall is adequate. He’s very well-behaved both in the house and the backyard, and loves playing with his toys or simply watching the world go by. Leo would thrive in a household with another dog, but he’s not compatible with cats. He’s cautious with strangers, but once he bonds, he’s incredibly loyal and loving—especially with his foster mom and her grandchildren. Leo does not like his paws touched, so a gentle approach is best. A fenced yard is a must for this curious explorer. If you’re looking for a devoted, playful, and lovable companion, Leo could be the perfect addition to your family. Come meet him and see why everyone who knows him falls in love!
