Prepare to be charmed by the most adorable yet slightly energetic dog Lionel (like the soccer player) or you can call him “Leo” for short. He is currently 2-1/2 years young weighing 50 lbs. He is medium size bully breed mix with black fur and a white chest almost like he’s wearing a dashing tuxedo. Leo was rescued by DAS (Dallas Animal Shelter) from the streets of Dallas. They took the proper measurements to neutered and microchip him incase he gets lost. Leo receives his vaccines of Rabies, DAPP, and Bordetella so he can be around the other pups.
Leo is just a bundle of joy. This happy go lucky pup loves to be active and enjoys going to places with people. He does need guidance reminders in case he gets too excited. But that’s where the treats come into place (he is very treat oriented). When it’s time to settle down, he loves to be a lap pup. He loves to crawl his way into bed for cuddles and sleepy time.
When its activity time, this pup gets active! He loves tug of war, tossing the ball isn’t quite his thing but he loves to play soccer. Leo enjoys everyone’s company, adults, children (older than 10+), and other dogs. He might need slow introduction to other dogs, since his love can overwhelm other pups.
This star is crate trained, somewhat leash trained (still working on it), and for sure housebroken. His special tricks are sit, lay down, and to wait for food to be set down for dinner! He does jump when excited and whines when he sees birds. He does not do well with cats, but not every dog is a cat person. Since he can be an active dog, apartments or homes with backyards are preferred. Our unfortunate circumstances prevent Leo from enjoying his life to the fullest and we are heartbroken, but understand Leo deserves better.
This spunky silly pup deserves his family home, and we hope you apply to adopt him. Thank you.
