Notes from Leo's caretakers:
Leo is a sweet 9 month old, stroller-loving, Basenji mix who came to us from SD Humane Society as a stray. He is very puppy-like and, at 37 lbs., he is happily healthy with love and care. He is completely leash and bathroom trained and has been fixed as well. The crate is not his favorite thing, and he definitely thrives when he has company most of the day. Leo will be an absolute delight in any family home.

Cherry Blossom is a female Labrador retriever puppy in the care of California Labradors Retrievers and More.
Cherry Blossom gets along well with kids, cats or dogs. She is already house-trained. She has all her shots.
From Cherry Blossom's current caretaker:
Cherry Blossom is a Labrador Retriever mix and is around three months old. We think this cutie is going to be on the large side like her mama, Osaka, who weighs about 40 lbs. She has many Labrador features, but also gorgeous brindling on her legs and a few white toes. She is the first to leap into any new situation and loves to play nonstop. She gets along well with both big and small dogs. She also thinks kids are super fun to roll around and chase. She would love for a family with kids to adopt her and a dog sibling to keep her company! She is working on her leash skills and likes to walk with a harness.
