Sometimes people name them that just as a kind of joke and the dog is really a big baby in temperament. Even so, I'd probably shorten it to Joe in your very public conditions. Excellent idea on the testing.

My wife found a white GSD who's owner was getting their house foreclosed upon but The owner named him KU-JO so you see what kind of people you are dealing with. I have a customer who runs a GSD rescue. She is going to go temperament test him tomorrow. then I'll have to make a decision weather to move forward and meet him etc.
I'm sure your instincts were correct and good for you, realizing Levi wasn't the right fit for your situation. Hopefully, there will be a home for him one day. Did you look at the dog your wife found?

If you have concerns about what dog to get, I would pay a dog trainer to go with you. There are a lot of signs a dog will give off that someone with experience will pick up on after spending just a little time with the dog. The local Humane Society here has a yard you can use to spend time with a dog before you pick one.
In Atlanta, there's actually a trainer that helps people pick dogs for free. I'd gladly pay $100 for the service when I get my next dog though.

A tired dog is a happy dog!
I think Levi is a great looking dog, don't see Pitt in him at all.
American bulldog and not sure what else, doesn't matter, appears to be a lovable dog.
Hope you can take him home!

When are you going to meet him?
If Levi and you turn out not to be a good match, I've had three sight hound crosses, all fantastic dogs with the lanky build you mentioned. One lab/greyhound cross (Best.Dog.Ever.), one afghan/collie/shep mix (spooky, but still a beautiful boy and a wonderful companion), and the current one is lab/deerhound. All great dogs, two very social, one spooky, all good off-leash, dog social, and safe around strangers.
Crosses or mixes are a little less intense that way. You don't get ALL of the sight hound tendencies to quite the degree, or with the lab, you don't get ALL of the lab exuberance and the hardheadedness some display early on. Getting a purebred anything means you get the full dose of that breed's tendencies, so you want to be sure that's a breed you're comfortable with. I used to have a pit/boxer mix, and after she died the universe sent me a full on pit. Wow! She's so.... pittie! Fortunately, I love most of the characteristics that brings.
My current lab/deerhound cross, Hally, came from Alabama. I thought that was a really unusual mix to find, but it turns out that people use them for hunting in the south. They're called lurchers. You aren't that far from that part of the world, so you might find someone suitable within a day's drive. If Levi doesn't work out.
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a wabbit, Fuzzy Wuzzy had a dandelion habit! RIP little Wuz... don't go far.

Looks like a bulldog mix to me, not pit. He's adorable! Bulldogs are like boxers - you need to be the boss for them to respect you. That doesn't mean you have to be mean, you just have to mean what you say. If you have that type of personality, go for him!
