Leo
Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · Young (2 years) · Male · Medium · Jackson, MS
Notes from Animal Rescue Fund of MS
Leo is still just a young soul who hasn’t had the chance to be a dog yet.
He came to the shelter as a puppy and has grown up behind kennel bars—full of energy, curiosity, and a heart that just needs direction. Right now, he can be a little unsure and reactive in the kennel, but that’s life in a loud, overwhelming place… not who he truly is.
Give him space to run, time to learn, and someone patient to guide him—and you’ll start to see the real Leo come out.
He doesn’t need perfect. He just needs a chance.
