🐾 What to expect
  • ✓Spayed / neutered

Lenny doesn't necessarily believe in "work hard, play hard" because let's be honest, he's never done a day of work in his life. But he does feel it deep in his soul that while he does play hard, he should cuddle even harder. See, here's the thing about our guy Lenny--he loves to let it all hang out. Lenny is Lenny from the moment you meet him--wild and crazy, sweet and cuddly, sugar and spice. Will he do naughty things that you probably shouldn't laugh at but will anyway? Yes. Does he tilt his head when you talk to him as if he can hear you despite being fully deaf? Absolutely. And believe us. You will speak to him often even though you know he can't hear you. There's just a lot to be said to Lenny. He loves to find a cozy spot and take a nap on his back with limbs fully splayed--he relaxes in a way that only a dog with no bills, no responsibilities and no outside noise can. We aspire to be at his level of unbotheredness. He's an inspiration to us all. Have you ever heard the phrase "Why don't you just go cry about it then?" Well, don't say this to Lenny because he will take it literally. Lenny's quirky brain sometimes leads him to get real frustrated with things and he gets a little vocal about it. But, he's a guy who aims to please and can be coaxed back into his happy place. Speaking of, one of his favorite happy places is at the end of a leash where he can exercise his little body (and brain) by hiking, running, walking and most importantly, sniffing. He's one of those real annoying types that will talk your ear off about the mental and physical benefits of exercise. WE KNOW, LENNY. WE KNOW. Leonard is crate trained, potty trained and does well with other dogs who can match his energy (both physically and spiritually).

🧠 Temperament

Lenny is Lenny from the moment you meet him--wild and crazy, sweet and cuddly, sugar and spice. Affectionate, people-loving and often startlingly goofy — pit bull type dogs are typically very social with humans.

🎾 Exercise

Speaking of, one of his favorite happy places is at the end of a leash where he can exercise his little body (and brain) by hiking, running, walking…. High — 60+ minutes daily plus chew and puzzle outlets.

✂️ Grooming

Very easy. Short coat, minimal shedding, thin coat means a winter jacket.

🏙️ In an LA apartment

Leonard is crate trained, potty trained and does well with other dogs who can match his energy (both physically and spiritually). The main obstacle is paperwork, not the dog: many buildings and insurers restrict pit bull type dogs, and enforcement is based on appearance.
