Learn more about this event and sign up for 10am Early Entry HERE Age: 3 months (as of 10/15/24) Weight: 18.2 lbs. (as of 10/30/24) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Say hello to Leo Nova! Leo is one of four pups in the brand-new Nova litter. These cuties are 3 months old and look to be Labrador/English Pointer mixes. Leo and his brothers were born to a stray mother at a litter, and now we're looking for furever homes for these little guys. Leo is your classic playful puppy -- affectionate, outgoing, and ready to have fun! He can entertain himself with squeaky chew toys, but also loves puppy playgroup. He likes to chase his brothers, wrestle, and have a great time with his furry friends. He is definitely a lap pet (especially while he's still pretty tiny!) and loves to snuggle. Like any young pup, Leo is going to need some help with his training. He's working on his house training, crate training, and walking nicely on a leash. He sometimes tries to escape through doors and gates, but it's only because he's eager and excited! With a little practice, we're confident Leo will master his house manners in no time. Puppy training classes are also always a great idea for new dogs and their families. Leo would love to socialize with some other dogs, and it will be a great way to pick up some new training tips! He's ready to learn and find some new friends to love. Have you fallen for Leo Nova? Fill out an application today!
