re you looking for a well-loved, house-trained dog who will keep you safe? Want to avoid the puppy stage but get a dog who still has lots of energy for walks and ball chasing?
Then look no further, Leo is the dog for you! Leo is a great guard dog. He is very protective. No one will mess with you with this dog around.
He is socialized and goes to doggy day care. He is good at walking on a leash and knows basic commands (sit, lay stay). He can be home alone all day and as a 6.5 year old large breed, he is pretty chill most of the time. His greatest love is his emotional support ball. He will chase it all day long.
I recently got married and Leo is not compatible with my husband's dog. i am so sad to have to rehome him and will do anything to support him going to a loving home.
