West Philly resident Tonia is looking for a new home for her dog Leo. Leo is an 11-month-old Lab/Pit mix. He is an amazing dog but Tonia no longer has time and attention he needs due to some changes in her life. He is dog and kid-friendly and loves to play and run.

Leo gets along well with Tonia’s daughter as well as her cat. He loves the outdoors. He has had his first set of shots but is not neutered. Tonia said that she really doesn’t want to let him go but he cannot enjoy his life under the limitations in time she now has.

If you are interested in adopting Leo, or want to meet him, please email Tonia at: toniarenae7536@gmail.com
