Sweet Leo is a Pit mix who was born in late 2017 and comes into rescue from South Carolina. Clearly this poor boy is another pitbull who didn’t mean anything & wasn’t worth even the basic care. It’s so heartbreaking...he is just an innocent puppy and he almost lost his life because his “owners” dumped him at a high kill SC shelter. He was missing fur and his poor skin was raw and raging. He obviously suffered from a life of neglect for too long. This is so unnecessary & so unfair for any dog to have to endure such abuse.  Leo has now received the medical treatment he desperately needed and is becoming the healthy and happy puppy he was meant to be.  We can’t wait to show him what it’s like to live a life full of the unconditional love and happiness that he deserves! Are you the lucky one that can show Leo what it feels like to be loved and cared for?! Leo is an itty bitty Pitty that's a total love bug. This little guy weighs in at a mere 31 pounds! Leo is eager to please and loves his "person" dearly.  He is quite good at snuggling and loves to be touching his person or another pup while napping. He can be a little hyper-reactive to stimuli, as most puppies are, but once he settles down he is the most mellow sweet and loving dog ever. He is wonderful with everyone including kids, other dogs, and even cats! He has made such a remarkable physical transformation and it seems that his terrible beginnings in life just made him the most grateful, appreciative and most loving dog he is today.  
Leo knows sit, down, come, leave it and walks well on a leash and is also crate trained. 
He will be neutered and up to date on vaccines prior to placement in his forever home. Leo has lots of cuddles and kisses to give to his new special someone.
