Leland is the kind of dog who just wants to be close to his people. Whether he’s curled up beside you on the couch, riding shotgun on a car ride, or soaking up the sunshine outside, he’s happiest simply being part of your world. He’s affectionate, gentle, and quietly observant, with a sweet personality that shines brighter every day as he settles in and feels safe.

In foster care, Leland has done well crated and sleeps through the night peacefully. He already knows sit, down, come, and crate, and enjoys learning new things with his people. He loves walks, lounging outdoors, splashing in a kiddie pool, and cozy cuddle sessions after a long day. He’s also been a respectful companion with his resident dog foster sibling, happy to peacefully coexist.

Leland is looking for a patient, loving home where he can continue building confidence and soaking up all the love he deserves. If you’re searching for a loyal shadow, adventure buddy, and oversized cuddle companion, Leland may be your perfect match.
