Meet Lionel, your future soul mate. He’s a lovable dork whose silly personality and heart-throb looks win over everyone he meets. Lionel is a lovely work in progress, but aren't we all?He’s a medium energy guy that would love to join you on your daytime adventures and then crash on the couch with you for a Netflix marathon once he’s had some good exercise.

Lionel is new to household living, but he’s learning fast.He’s still a bit like a mischievous puppy in that he’ll carry around your shoes and nibble your fingers.Oh and he’s a tall guy so that kitchen counter is just at nose height!Right now supervision and managing him like a puppy in the house helps him make all the right choices.He really wants to make you happy and learn, so he will quickly earn more freedom and house privileges.When he gets in trouble his signature move is to flop on his back and convince you he’s totally innocent.

Lionel currently lives with 4 other large dogs in his foster home.He gets along well with everyone, although not everyone appreciates his dorky clumsy play style.His foster home does not have cats, but we always recommend slow introduction with cats and we can share information on how to do this.

His current foster home does not have kids, but we’ll be getting more information soon on how he feels about living with kids.Please check back!

Lionel is super smart and knows the basics like sit, down, and wait, with a side of "4 on the floor" etiquette in progress. He's a joy to walk with a gentle leader, calmly taking in the world. He sleeps through the night in a crate.He loves chew toys and bones and will even play fetch.

So, if you're looking for an epic true love who’s all heart and silliness, Lionel might just be the companion you've been searching for.
