Description:

Leon is a beautiful male one year old German Shepherd/Husky/Boxer/Bull Terrier mix. Yes a DNA test was done. :0)

He loves walks (especially when he can swim in a lake), fetching balls, and chew toys. He's about 70 lbs with short gold fur.

He has gone to Animal Humane Society obedience classes and had advanced to the 2nd level until an illness (mine) prevented him from continuing. He learns very quickly and will sit, lay down, shake etc. He gets excited when meeting new people, in his excitement, he's been known to grab at your watch. Leo is completely housebroken. He barks or whines to go outside, and he rings a cowbell that I hung up by the back door to come in. He comes when he's called too.

He gets along with most dogs very well and loves to play and rough house with them, He does get protective of himself when another dog become aggressive and he is fearful of what the other dog will do. Continued training of course will help that. Leon has played well with other dogs and even has been growled at when he gets too puppy rowdy and he has not had any problem, most seem to be just fine.

People can take any food or toy away from Leon without a problem.

Leon LOVES treats and is very motivated to learn when treats are involved. He's a very sweet dog. since Leo is a big dog, young and energetic, a home with older children would be best suited for his play and romping.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.
