Leo is a happy, high-energy, two-year-old Golden Retriever with a big heart and an even bigger love for people. He’s affectionate, athletic, and thrives on connection with his humans. He is enthusiastic, loving, eager to learn, and loves to snuggle! With great house manners and significant training skills, Leo has put in the work with his foster to help bring out his best. He thrives with structure, stability, clear guidance, and having both his mind and body engaged. While he can be reactive on leash when he sees other dogs, in the hands of a skilled, sturdy, and observant human, that over-excitement turns to friendly and social. In fact, he lives happily with two other dogs and would do well with a dog sibling given a proper introduction. Leo does have prey drive, so he is best suited to larger breeds and homes without small animals. With people of all ages, Leo truly shines. He is ready for a home that wants to build a strong bond with a smart, active, and affectionate dog and people who will continue the great progress he has already made.
