Leo lives away from the shelter with four other shelter dogs and they receive very little attention and time out of their kennels or in the public eye. This very sweet boy loves getting out of his kennel to take in all the smells and run around! He is so ready to have a place to call home, where he can be spoiled and loved for the rest of his life! Leo is neutered and up-to-date on his shots, including a one-year rabies vaccination, and he is on flea and heartworm prevention.
