Leo recently joined our rescue and has only spent a few days in his foster home and has been an absolute rockstar! He is estimated to be around 3 years old and is around 45 lbs. Our guess is that he is mostly cattle dog, but maybe has some corgi in there too. He is an absolute love bug and is such a happy and sweet boy.
Leo rides well in the car and seems to be house and crate trained already. He has been a great house guest and seems pretty well mannered. He is pretty brave and walks decent on the leash so he would be a good adventure buddy. He does need a little leash training, as he occasionally wants to dart after a car, and will pull to say hello to people who pass. He just wants to be friends and say hello to everyone!
Leo has been super with male and female dogs, both in his foster home and at the shelter. He enjoys playing with his dog pals but also is happy to chill by your side. He seems to have a nice medium energy level. He was found as a stray but was neutered already so we think he had a family before. He also seems pretty comfortable in a house. He likes to be close to you and will follow you around but isn't overly needy and hasn't jumped up for attention. He is an excellent cuddle buddy! Leo hasn't been around kids that we know of but has been nothing but friendly and social. We do not have any information on Leo and cats.
