Lobo, a 3-year-old male shepherd mix weighing 60 pounds, is a well-behaved and crate-trained companion. We rescued him and his father, Oso, from a high kill shelter in Texas. He rarely barks and is house trained, displaying good behavior both indoors and outdoors in his foster home. While he may bark outside with other dogs, he generally sleeps peacefully in his crate at night and travels well in the car. Lobo is selective with other dogs, preferring to be the only one in the home, with another female of his size, or with his father Oso. Cats and small dogs are not suitable companions for him in a home. He would do fine in a home with kids and teenagers who understand how to interact with a larger dog.
With a moderate activity level, Lobo enjoys walks of varying lengths. A fenced yard or active lifestyle is essential and he isn't trained to be off-leash. Lobo responds to basic commands like sit, stay (sometimes), come, heel (for leash walking), and off (for not jumping on people). After overcoming heartworms through comprehensive treatment, he is now in excellent health. His ideal forever home would be with a single person, a couple, or a family with older children, where he can be the sole recipient of attention and care, with his dad Oso, or a large female dog. Lobo is ready for a loving home to cherish and support him throughout his life. Could that be you?
