💡Adoptable Dog Spotlight!💡
🩵Leo is the happiest boy once he get out of his kennel. His doggie day out friend wrote us saying, "Leo is a perfect gentleman. He is a pro car rider, and takes treats with the most gentle mouth. He is definitely up for getting your steps in, and he had a lot of fun on the trails. He is like a mini boxer, and I could see him being perfect for somebody!" Leo is FREE with approved application. See his full bio here https://www.petfinder.com/dog/leo-d7c19bd6-a7cc-446f-a010-01ee5296d76f/ky/bardstown/nelson-county-animal-shelter-ky560/details/ 🩵
