Story
HISTORY: CONEJO was rescued as a stray who was found hiding under an RV, crying for help. His rescuers fed him there for a few days and determined that he was friendly and probably abandoned.

He will no doubt need a patient adopter willing to give him time to adjust, but CONEJO is ready to find a safe indoor only home.
