Leo

Leo is a 7-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier with the perfect mix of snuggle buddy and playful goofball. He loves lazy weekends on the couch just as much as chasing his tennis ball—his favorite game. Bonus: he’ll even drop the ball on a racket so you don’t have to touch the slobber!

This sweet, loyal boy has never met a stranger. His bark may sound tough but he’s all heart—especially when it comes to kids. True to his breed’s “nanny dog” nickname, Leo is gentle, affectionate, and protective of his people.

He’s also a top-tier car ride companion who keeps his eyes on the road and loves an adventure.

Leo is looking for a new home due to ongoing issues with his longtime dog sibling. He would thrive as the only dog or possibly with a very submissive dog friend. He hasn’t been tested with cats, but we suspect he’d do best in a cat-free home.

Fully vetted and house-trained, Leo is ready to bring love, laughs, and loyalty to his next forever family.
