Today’s Connecticut Humane Society Pet of the Week is Leo! A 2-year-old Carolina dog with tons of love and energy to share! He came to the Connecticut Humane Society from local animal control and is now ready for his forever family.
As an adult, Leo is already housebroken and even knows a few tricks. While he may be a little shy at first, once he warms up, he’s all about fun, play, and adventure. Leo thrives with other dogs and would love a canine companion, though he hasn’t had much experience with cats yet. With his big personality and high energy, Leo will do best with a family who has experience with large breeds and can give him the structure, exercise, and attention he deserves.
He’s available now at the Waterford location. You can apply online at cthumane.org/adopt to meet him!
