Adopt Leo a Tan/Yellow/Fawn - with Black German Shepherd Dog / Belgian Malinois

Location:

Pleasant Grove, CA

Description:

"Leo" is a large (over 100 lbs), 3-yo neutered male Belgian Malinois mix who is friendly, protective and very active. Leo is overweight but otherwise healthy. He is microchipped and is up to date on core vaccinations. Leo is OK meeting people in the house as long as he is properly introduced; otherwise, he can act aggressively. He is a very good watchdog. Outside of the house, Leo is fine with strangers. Leo has been around young children and has done well with them. However, he is a very large dog and sometimes does not realize his own size so he might knock over a youngster in his exuberance. Leo is OK with other dogs, including small dogs. However, he is very reactive towards other dogs that he sees when on walks. Since Leo is a large, strong dog, he will need a strong person—both physlcally and otherwise—to control him and teach him not to be reactive. Leo might also be OK w/ cats. He has been around a cat and was just curious of it. However, it’s not a certainty that he’ll be good with cats so caution needs to be exercised. Leo is housetrained and non-destructive when left alone inside. His guardian presently leaves him inside when she’s gone, though she does have a neighbor let him out to relieve himself if she’ll be gone for more than four hours. Leo sleeps inside on his dog bed. Leo is OK on leash except, as previously mentioned, when he sees other dogs. He does not have good off-leash recall. Leo loves car rides and is a polite passenger. Leo loves to play ball and run around. He is a fetchin' fool! He would do well in an active home where he gets lots of play time and exercise, which will also help him lose weight. Leo is not fond of water. Amparo—Leo’s guardian—and her husband adopted Leo from a rescue organization in 2020. Leo was small at the time and Amparo’s husband was Leo’s primary handler. Since then, Leo has grown considerably and sadly Amparo’s husband died of cancer. On top of that, Amparo recently broke one of her arms and so is unable to even walk Leo. Her arm won’t be fully healed for another four months, so she reached out to GSRSV to help he find a new home for Leo. After listing Leo for adoption as an "Owner Placement" dog for 10 days, GSRSV took Leo in to its rescue facility. Leo is located in Pleasant Grove. His adoption fee is $300.
