About leo: A5765148 DATE ADMITTED TO COUNTY CARE: 2026-03-25 ANIMAL TYPE: DOG AVAILABILITY STATUS: RESC ONLY PRIMARY BREED: PIT BULL PRIMARY COLOR: BLACK SEX: Male SIZE: WEIGHT: 82.4 AGE: 2 years 0 months High Energy Owner surrendered RESCUE ONLY No other dogs required April 02, 2026 E26-092455 PLAYGROUP DOWNEY A5765148 ?The behaviors described today reflect the dog?s responses in an Animal Care Center environment and during assessment. A dog's behavior in an Animal Care Center may differ significantly from how they behave in a home. Stress, confinement, and unfamiliar surroundings can cause dogs to act out?or suppress behaviors that may emerge later. A dog's behavior may change based on surroundings, training, medical, socialization, and life experiences.? Leo greeted the runner nicely with a relaxed demeanor sniffing/licking the runner?s hand. Leo was easy to leash/remove from the kennel and was taken to the catch pen. Leo was collared/leashed/muzzled easily and without incident. Leo greeted the dogs at the barrier with a relaxed demeanor and was allowed into the play yard. Leo displayed a relaxed body, open mouth pant, natural ear set, relaxed tail wag, and soft eyes. A few dogs briefly passed by Leo but did not stop to greet him. Leo moved on and began to explore the play yard. One of the dogs approached to greet Leo and he suddenly lunged forward attempting to start a scuffle. The handler was able to grab Leo?s leash preventing him from reaching the dog (Leo had a very strong pull) and was difficult to steer. The play yard was adjusted to have female dogs only (Leo has a reported history of being selective of male dogs). Some of the dogs approached Leo and sniffed him briefly before he again suddenly lunged at the dog. The handlers quickly intervened and were able to separate Leo and shifted him to the alone time yard. In both incidents when the handler grabbed the leash Leo had a very strong pull towards the dogs. Leo displayed a relaxed demeanor and when the handler entered the yard with him, he sought engagement. The muzzle was removed and he continued to display a relaxed demeanor and continued to solicit petting. Leo was allowed further alone time before being returned to his kennel.
